Sam,

The novell-ether specifies using Novell's variant of the ieee802.3
format.  The arpa specifies using Ethernet 2.0 framing with a proto-
col type of 8137.  Use the novell-ether when you want to exchange info
w/ typical IPX hosts (PCs).  Use the arpa encapsulation when you are
dealing w/ beasts like VAXs that are supporting IPX.

Novel-ether is used 999 out of 1000 times.
