You'll need to have your Macs use IPX to connect to the server.  Netware
4.1 ships with a MacIPX client, but I don't know whether it's available
"for free" or not.

The *BIG* downside to this is that it requires you to install MacIPX on all
of the mac you wish to restrict (I have about 150 macs on a NetWare net and
opted not to go with MacIPX).  NetWare 4.1 allows you to restrict stations
using other network protocols (including AppleTalk), but you probably
aren't in a position (or don't desire) to upgrade for just one feature.
