- Well, I can do half of it; should you happen to have a spare PC handy!
-
- I got a copy of SOSS (Son Of Stans Own Server) from one of the big FTP
- archives, which along with running a packet driver stack on the PC, allows
- me to mount my Novell fileserver's disks as a filesystem of my Linux Box!
-
- Yeah, so it takes 3 Pcs (1xLinux, 1xDos and 1xNetware) and its slow, but it
- does work!

- ps You need:
-
- 1) SOSS
- 2) A Packet Driver
- 3) A packet driver IPX
