Ha! 2 seater NW4x is FREE!! You are comparing Netcon "list" to NetWARE "street", which isn't fair. You also get an IPX proxy server with NetCON, and you dont with NetWARE. The $395. product is really suited for client use (accessing netWARE from your FreeBSD box) and maybe a print server....well worth the price if you need it....because the alternatives currently suck.
