If you're not afraid of using Linux (and, from your mail, I'd suspect
that you're not), I'd suggest that you get a copy of Caldera's Linux
distribution. Because of their relationship with Novell, they would
have an extremely good version of the Netware interface. Then get one
of the firewalls, either fwtk (proven good on Linux) or a commercial
one that runs under some x86 Unix, to run on the Linux system.
An advantage of even the personal version of Caldera is its nice GUI.
You can also get UnixWare from Novell or SCO, complete with a Netware
interface; but I think it may cost more than even the full business
version of Caldera (which includes WordPerfect and other applications).
I also don't know what firewalls, if any, have been proven good on
UnixWare - shockingly ignorant of me. [;-)]
