If you want to access a Netware volume and don't have Netware fo Macs then look
into NetMounter from Dayna Communications(Same people who do DOS Mounter). It
is a Netware client which converts AppleTalk protocols into IPX protocols that
Netware uses.  This is a great idea if you have only a few macs(<15) and need
to get to a Netware server.  It only allows you to see Netware files, and not
access print queues though, so don't expect everything from it.  It does DOS
to Mac file mapping in the same way DOS Mounter does.
