We are planning to put in an IPX to IP gateway this year and we have
decided on the Iware Connect product from Quarterdeck.

However, Intranetware 4.11 comes with its own IPX/IP gateway.  Has
anyone compared the two?  Is Novell's "ready for prime time", or is it
missing management features and other things that can be found in
Iware Connect?  Thanks for any help.

Novell's IPX/IP Gateway *is* ready for prime time, and it's integrated with
NDS to allow you to configure IP access features via NDS.  Better yet, it
uses Novell's 32-bit client, which is flat out missing in the IWare product
at this time.  Since it's 32-bit, you can use 32-bit software with it on
Win 95 and Win NT workstations, which is not possible with the IWare
Connect product.  (To be fair, Quarterdeck has recently announced a beta of
their new 32-bit version.  I will be checking it out eventually.)

This is news to me. Up to my knowledge there is no IPXGW support for
NT, which is a real shortcoming.
