You could always get Netware NFS.  It's fast!!!!  So fast, it'll rumble!
Even a TurboNeXT can't keep up without slowing Netware server down.  I've
got a SPARC 10 which got chewed up by a 386/33 EISA server, before the 
slow-down patch was installed.  

Then you could just mount the Netware server..
