To The Point:  I work for a Novell reseller who, up till now, has only
worked in DOS only environments.  Now, we have two days to prepare a
bid on a system involving DOS, Macs, and a Sun Workstation.  What
I'm interested in is any advice or rule-of-thumb documents (or any
other ftp'able documents that will help) on the following subjects.

1:  The current state of Mac-to-Netware interconnectivity.  Last time
I checked, it required a dedicated 'router'.  I'm pretty sure that 
3.11 now has NLM's that will handle this, but I need to find out for
sure, and find out what the memory and other requirements are.

2:  Same for NFS interconnectivity, emphasis on WS accessing Novell
FS, but also interested in other machines accessing the Sun WS.

3:  Removable SCSI drives.  Due to onsite security regulations, it
will be necessary to secure the FS hard drive in a safe.  How well
does 3.11 handle removable media?  I understand that 4.0 does, but I'd
like to be able to know what can be done with what is out now.

Please reply as soon as possible, my boss dropped this in my lap a 
few minutes ago.
