I know that Prime's EXL Unix lacks 'Client NetWare', but ISC has it.  The 
glossy marketing sheet from Interactive Systems Corp on 'Interactive
Ported NetWare' says, on side 1:

  Also Available in Client Version
  Ported NetWare is also available in a client version - INTERACTIVE Ported
  Client NetWare - which operates in conjunction with INTERACTIVE VP/Ix*.
  {this} allows INTERACTIVE Unix systems to operate as clients to NetWare
  servers, so UNIX users can access services, files, and applications on 
  NetWare servers.
