Yes, plus being able to share a printer with one on a Novell network.
Printer can be on either side, TCP/IP or IPX/SPX.  I know Linux already
has IPX support available.  I don't know how extensive it is.  I haven't
looked into the documentaton for ipxtools.  I'm trying to make a decision
between FreeBSD and Linux.
