- I'll beat Russ to the punch and post his suggestion to me. The key component
- here is a interface program (called a shim) between the Novell stuff and
- the packet driver. Also by using a program called pktmux it is possible to
- have several TCP/IP stacks going on at once. Here is snippet of Russ's
- message:

- 4. How do you add mail, news, ftp, and telnet to an existing network environment
- Like novell netware ? From what I've read so far you would need the
- following:
-
- No, like this:
-
- -- Novell shim -- Novell software
- / -- TCP/IP
- / /
- hardware -> packet driver -> pktmux
- \
- -- possibly other TCP/IP.
-
- You don't need pktmux to run NetWare and TCP/IP at the same time.

- Two questions from Byron:
- 1) Where is the latest copy of the Novell Shim?
- 2) Can we get a mini tutorial on how it works? Does it encapsulate novell
- packets or just sends the novell packets unchanged and unshielded?
-
- BTW I don't think there is a need to buy another NIC.
