It's unfortunate you've written Netware Connect off so quickly; I've been
using it here to support both remote node and remote control users for
nearly 2 years with excellent results. Supported dial-in/out platforms
include DOS, Windows 3.1, 95 and NT.  It's stable (the box has been up for
220+ days straight), and I get far better than 9600bps performance on a
28.8Kbps dialup connection.  I do have a "processor farm" in a Cubix box
for folks who need high-speed LAN type access to databases; those are
controlled via ReachOut, but NWC is the agent that provides ReachOut with
its connection to these processors.

The remote node support is certainly NOT recommended for individuals whose
applications and data reside on Netware servers, but neither is anyone
else's.  It works wonderfully well for terminal emulation, groupware
designed for remote node connections (a la GroupWise Remote), web browsing
and many other low-bandwidth applications though.  One simply has to match
the problem to the solution, and in our case, Netware Connect provides a
robust solution to a number of connectivity problems.
