Hi Tim, This is my first post so I hope this gets through. Novell solution to the "Client" problem is Native File Access pack (NFA) See http://www.novell.com/products/nfa/ Basically you don't need a novell client to access a Novell server anymore weather your running Windows, Mac, or Unix/Linux. NFA comes with Netware 6.0 and is available for Netware 5.1. If you go to the link you see theres a white paper that exlain the technology a bit more in depth. Some very cool stuff. The prduct flyer states that it uses NFS v3.0 over TCP/IP. -Keith
