I believe the easiest way to do this is to use DR-DOS 7.xx which comes
with a NetWare Lite client. It is (was) free for individuals though
licenses for commercial use were available. I don't see it on
Caldera's website anymore, though, so you may have to contact them for
more info.  Their Linux distro comes with proprietary NetWare client
software and a server is/was available for it. Their latest is
OpenLinux 2.3.

Windows 9x ships with the tools to connect peer-to-peer with NetWare
networks. Should work.

On DR-DOS: this is what Microsoft tacitly admitted to killing with
monopoly power by settling the lawsuit with Caldera (inheritor of
DR-DOS through Novell) for "more than" $155 million US. 

I still use it; it allows multi-taking (of a primitive sort,) has
great memory for games, sees Win9x long filenames, uses DPMI memory,
can dual-boot with Win and reads partitions bigger than 2 GB.

The world would have been a different place had Microsoft not
strangled this baby in the cradle. Linus is credited with saying, "If
Microsoft had made a decent DOS, I never would have had to invent
Linux;" I'm truly sorry he wasn't introduced to DR-DOS -- especially
if you add the 4dos shell.

But Linux is better still, so maybe it worked out for the best.
