The workstations with Novell Clients are already running 5.1 compatible
clients.  Will MS Clients for Novell, in Win9.x, NT 4.0, and W2KPro work
with Novell 5.1 over IP?  I loathe the Novell Clients, and always have,
as they are piggish, plus necessitate re-install any time any network
hardware is changed.  This means that I usually have to devote several
mb of local disk space for the install stuff on each machine, or I have
to carry around an extra CD.  :(  The only place I found Novell Clients
an advantage is on NT boxes where I want to use a specific network logon
with a generic workstation logon.  Nice flexibility there!

The former is the case, and that sounds good.  I hate the Compaq
Smart/Stupid install procedures with the 100 CD changes, however...  :(
Can't win em all, though!
