- Sorry, I misled you slightly there -- you don't actually need
- anything on your end. NetWare for Mac is actually a NetWare
- Loadable Module (is that the right terminology?) which runs on
- the PC end. I don't think you need anything at all on the Mac
- end, other than the usual Mac networking stuff. I certainly don't
- have any Novell stuff on my Mac. I think the most recent version
- is 3.11, but don't quote me on that.
