I'm new to this group, so I hope this hasn't been discussed ad nauseum already.

We're bridging our Netware LAN and our TCP/IP LAN next week.  Among other
denizens, our TCP/IP LAN houses several NeXTs, most running NS 3.0.

I need something to provide e-mail and NFS connectivity between Netware and
the UNIX boxes.  I've looked at Pegasus/Charon as an e-mail solution, but I
don't have any old, tired PCs laying around to use as a Charon gateway.  

If I can just mount Netware volumes on a UNIX platform, I know how to do the 
equivalent (I think).

I've been eying NS 3.0's NetInfoManager and NetWare client support.  I can't
find it documented (except for one or two lines that say refer to the Novell
manuals).  Does this NetInfoManager provide full client support?  Can I mount
a volume from our Netware server on a NS 3.0 NeXT?  This is the difficult part
of building an SMTP <=> Novell gateway.

For NFS support, Can I then NFS export this directory's parent directory, so I 
can get access to the NetWare volume from another UNIX machine (Sun, etc.) via 
the NeXT?
