- The problem is that the TCP/IP product uses NDIS drivers and Novell uses
- a different kind of driver. These two drivers are basically incompatible.
- You can however get a piece of software that translates the NDIS stack into
- novell's protocol and back. I have not actually tried this so I can't tell
- you anything about it. You might try contacting you local branch office
- and ask them about it...
