You do not mention the application (what are you trying to accomplish?). I
will assume that you are looking to provide Internet access to clients
running IPX only. If so, you have a few choices:

NT w/MSP2
NetWare 4.11
Firefox

The first does not work with Client32 (MS IPX only). The last two assume a
Novell environment.

You mentioned "for a large corporation". Keep in mind that what you are
doing is protocol translation which generates a lot of overhead and adds a
considerable delay to your link speed. If we are talking a lot of Internet
traffic over a slow link, you may see time out problems with your client
software.

Cheers,
Chris
