Portable Netware for UNIX.  Several vendors have this now.  But only
IF the files sit on the server.  I haven't seen any Novell clients
for ANY UNIX.

Yup.  Portable Netware.  It's identical to Netware/386, except it
won't support some of the multi-tasking stuff (because UNIX is
inherently multi-tasking anyway).

Make sure you get it from a vendor who knows what they are doing.
