FreeBSD can mount Novell partitions, but only if you have the NFS NLM loaded on the servers :-( There is experimental IPX support available if you ask the right people (I believe I have it in my inbox somewhere), but for routing only. Mounting Novell volumes is REALLY nasty, as I'm not sure if the entire negotiation sequence is published anywhere, and if it is, how easy it would be to adapt to *BSD usage. However, mounting the volumes isn't the problem - if I remember right the entire password thing is done through special packet types :-( Gary
