As a relative newcomer to linux system administration I have a question
about the use of linux in a network running Novell Netware 3.22. Here is
the whole situation.

We have just added a Powermac G3 into our network for use as a graphics
workstation. It easily recognizes and prints to our networked printers. We
were able to get it to route through our gateway and get into the internet.
BUT, since it doesn't do ipx natively, we can't get it to log into our
netware server. Now from reading the Howto's, I see that a linux box can be
configured to be a NCP client and could mount the drives on the Netware
server. It can also be configured as an appletalk server. If I did both,
would the Mac be able to see the files on the netware server by using
appletalk or appleshare over IP? Or is there an easier way.

Thanks in advance.

That is a long way to go to get to the server. Install apple protocol and
name service on the Novell server then download and install the Novell
client for the g3. You will then be able to login to the Novell server
