To followup my own post:

I did some more messing around and found that the version of Netbios in
my \NETWARE directory (v 3.1) will load fine using Novell's 'real' ipx????.com
(bound for my ne2000 at irq 2 and port 340).  So for me, it won't load using
the requestor's virtual ipx but WILL using the 'real' one.  Can anyone else
confirm this?  I wonder if setting the irq at 2 rather than the 'default' 5
could be causing the problem.  Doesn't seem like it since everything works
fine otherwise........Very frustrating, because I need netbios support in 
DOS sessions and would *like* OS/2 Netware support!  Unfortunately as I'm
sure many of you know, a call to Novell costs $150, and of course my dealer
doesn't run OS/2.  He can place a call to them on my behalf however.  I'm
hoping the experts here can offer some advice or at least tell me that it
either does or doesn't work for them.
