- Looks like FLex/IP from Novell would provide the functions you are looking
- for. FLex/IP can make your file server an FTP site. You would NOT be able
- to telnet into the 3.11 server and establish a NetWare connection, but you
- could use the TCPIP.NLM to route TCP/IP traffic from an IP host (workstation)
- to an operating system that supports telnet, such as UNIX or VMS. I suggest
- you call 800-NETWARE and press 6 when the cyber-attendant answers... this
- will take you to a FAX server, from which you can request document 661
- (FLex/IP), and/or document 660 (NetWare NFS), and/or document 640 (LAN
- Workplace for DOS).
