But it _is_ possible to set up a dedicated PC running both novell and
the PD SOSS server and let it gateway from NFS to novell. This way it
is possible to mount the Novell drives on the Unix (Linux) client.
SOSS is a PD (perhaps with some restrictions, but freely available) NFS
server for DOS. It includes the PC/IP TCP/IP implementation and runs on
a packet driver. I have run both a Novell client (with PDIPX, a Packet
Driver IPX) and this SOSS server together successfully.
Look for 'SOSS' with archie.
