First of all, have you tried to see if the other apps will run without Netware?
I had a similar problem with Trumpet Winsock and a 3C5X9PD packet driver.  I
could run either one, but not both.  I concluded that the packet driver just 
wasn't compatible with the Netware DOS Requester and went back to an older 
version of the packet driver (it was CRYNWR, or something like that).

Good luck.
