When I went for my MOAB/Netware 4.x cert, when things were all said and done
I asked the instructors if they were aware Novell 2 could run tcp/ip. They
insisted it could not. I asked for admin access to one of their 2.x training
servers and to be given an unused IP... and 5 minutes.

When I was done I told them to ping the server as proof... they were floored
that it worked, and they then logged into it as further proof. The protocol
stack is not included with 2.x however 3.x is compiled under the same flavor
of C as 2.x so all one needs to do is copy over the NLMs from 3 to 2, configure
them and off you go! Had the NLMs not been compiled with the same C setup, it
may not have worked. I did test it in my lab ahead of time so I was confident
it would :)
