We are contemplating loading NUPop on our Novell servers 3.11 & 3.12
Netware and I looked back in my archives and found a couple of posts
in the last few months that I appended to this message. I have a few
questions I hope can be answered.

We have NE2 packet drivers for the PS/2's NI5210 for some Zeniths
and DE220's for some of the new z-stations.
These labs are for the students, class instruction by faculty and
some faculty/staff instruction by our dept. 

What are the pitfalls are things to be careful about doing?

I would imagine that the students need to store there messages and
downloads on a floppy - maybe depends if they have Novell accounts
and given server space?

We already create mailserver accounts for everyone that wants them and am 
not crazy about having to create Novell accounts for everyone also. Some
here say that it would be required because of Internet Authentication. I
know some universities find it sufficient to be able to trace back to a lab 
and particular PC if there's a problem, so they load NUPop, and
other Internet GUI software in their labs and only create mailserver
accounts. What are others doing?

And Philip, if you would forward any info you received from others I
would appreciate it.

Thanks,
