Andrew,
Having never used Netware, I can only give you general advice :
you need IPX and possibly SPX support in the kernel. I dont know if the
RedHat kernel comes with this support inbuilt : check for the existence of
modules in /lib/modules....
I did hear that Caldera is supporting Netware a great deal.
Possibly because of the close relationship between Novell and Caldera. If
you are not willing to use the Linux distro of Caldera, you could just
search their site for interesting bits of info about Netware support.
Regards,
Kenneth
