I thought that Caldera's client did this... Is that not the case?
Well, Novell's stance on this is that they are moving away from Mac and
Unix clients for NetWare in favor of their new initiative of Native File
Access. Effectively, this is going to mean that NetWare boxes are going to
allow SMB access to their fileservers. This is great for those of us who
use Samba and know it's strength in Unix, but it's depressing for those who
understand F&P sharing using IPX vs SMB over TCP/IP. IPX had its problems,
but it has always been lightning fast compared to it's SMB brother, at
least when compared to an NT server. I haven't compared Linux to NetWare
yet. We'll have to see how this turns out.

I've had good results with the ipxutils and ncpfs packages. Check
freshmeat.net and rpmfind.net. These work well with NetWare 4.11, I'm
not sure about 5.x, but they may be worth a try. There are a couple of
GUI-type frontends available too, but I don't know much about them, as I
just use CLI.
