You can use the internal "ipx support" (in dosemu.conf)  with dosemu so that
you only need to load the VLM's to get netware connectivity. This will allow
you to have reasonably fast multiple netware access although SPX support is
not included (needed for rconsole, btrieve amongst others).

If you need SPX then you can use a packet driver. This means you leave "ipx
support" off and you load lsl, pdether, ipxodi, vlm to get netware
connectivity. This method gives you SPX access but is VERY slow. Almost too
slow to use in fact. It also gives you 1 connection ONLY although you can
supposedly have multi-user packet driver access with some other config. I
haven't gotten multi-user packet driver access to work yet but because it
is
so slow I am not trying very hard.

----------
other suggestion (with root permissions)
pdipx (instead of lsl, pdether, ipxodi)
netx or vlm
---------
other suggestion: open up ports, use DOS network driver instead of
pdether, makes network card inaccessible from Linux.
--------
setting ipx_support on and not loading pdipx/pdether (only vlm/netx
and nothing else) does not need root privileges
