Uh-uh. Get the Netware NFS support from Novell. That's how we mount
our 4 or 5 Netware drives on all our UN*X boxes at Walnut Creek.
It's not perfect, but there's no other way I know to do it :-(

I think that TCP/IP for Netware has lpd support in it. I know I've
printed from my UN*X box to a Netware queue, and I believe that there
is even support for going the other way (i.e. send jobs from a Netware
queue to a UN*X printer).
