	Yes, this is available.  Cal 1-800-NETWARE to order your copy.

	The cabletron drivers ARE available from the Cabletron bulletin
	board.  I have been using them for 3 months now.

	The 1.2.1 (refresh) package has a few problems with the NW requester
	2.0 that (in my opinion) it is unusable (intermittent freezes).  I
	understand that Novell/IBM fixed the problem and we are waiting for
	its release.  If TCP/IP operation under NW requester 2.0 is CRITICAL,
	I would wait until the patch is available.

	These machines are more than adequate.  I suggest at least 8mB
	ram for OS/2 machines that will concurrently run NW requester
	and TCP/IP.  Windows compatibility is also a resource hog.

	You are welcome!
