Hi Barbara,
            It may be easier to get your local CNE or a contracted CNE in to do
this. Essentially you will either need to bind IPX to the second ethernet
card and flood your campus net with IPX and all its associated RIP/SAP
traffic... or better, load the clients (PCs) with LanWorkPlace/or
LanWorkGroups and then set up an IPTunnel on the IP driven card. Have you a
copy of the relevant netware server's autoexec.ncf you can send ?... I'm not
sure if there is a LWP/LWG client for the Mac ?? - ask your local CNE...

regards,
