Requests for NetWare clients on Unix seem to meet with polite, but puzzled
silences from Novell/OEMs alike. The latest versions of PNW do have the
APIs necessary to implement a NetWare client available, but nobody seems
to have taken the plunge so far. It should not prove too difficult to
build a client through something like NFS's VNODE system, but I can't find
anyone who'll commit to it.

My recommendation is to keep shouting at the product manager in the OEM
supplying PNW for your system - it may not work, but you get a lot of
satisfaction out of it......
