Warren Mayer wants to monitor an AppleShare server using Timbuktu/Timbuktu
Remote.  I have heard of this done using these products where the server
was a headless IIcx (ie, no monitor or monitor card).  However, Warren
says his network is a PC using Novell 2.15.  This isn't an AppleShare server;
It's only a Novell server translating AFP packets to novells packets, isn't it?
Therefor, Timbuktu/Remote shouldn't work since it's not on a Mac.  Right?

Just my own guess.  But it would sure be neat if his idea works.  We also have
recently installed a small Mac network on Novell 2.15 and I wouldn't mind
having some of the capabilities Warren is speaking of.

Speaking of Novell 2.15, I also hear that Novell doesn't pass AFP packet
between it's gateways; Thus, if we put other Local-Talk gateways off of our
Novell network, those users won't be able to see users or devices on other
Local-Talk gateways off the server.  Can anyone confirm this?  (We have to
run seperate local-talk segments off the Novell network since Local-Talk has
such a limited range as compared to the backbone our Novell will be using.)

Also, has anyone heard any info on ARCNET cards for the Macs?  Most of our
PCs Connect to our Novell server via Arcnet and we were considering connecting
our Macs to the same hubs our PCs connect to.  Is anyone doing this?
