Novell wants quite a bit of money for their NFS stuff, but it works well.   
Going from Novell's file permissions to NFS and back is pretty evil, but it  
works.  What I'm concerned with about the Netware clients in 3.0 are the api's  
to the server... Like SPX isn't in 3.0...  and how current are the clients?   
Will 3.2 leave NeXTstep's clients behind?
