- The software is the hard part. If you are lucky enough to have the
- expensive NFS server for Novell, you'll be set (run AmiTCP on the Amiga).
- If not, you can do a couple of things:
-
- * Track down the Oxxi Novell Client Software, make sure it supports the
- Ethernet board you want, and use it. Last I knew, the NCS for sale
- didn't do SANA-2, it only had hardcoded drivers for the A2065 and a
- couple of other boards.
-
- * Put the Hellsoft FTP daemon on the Novell server and access it from the
- Amiga via AmiTCP. This works, but FTP transfers are certainly not as
- transparent as NFS. Inexpensive, though.
