We run a Novell network bridged into a TCP/IP network, and run
TCP/IP over Novell to talk to mainframes and minis.

Using Excelan EXOS 205T cards, a MS-DOS based pc can run
Novell and TCP/IP simultainiously. The only big problem is with
dumb ethernet cards using NCSA Telnet. They cannot do both     
simultainously.

With MS-Windows 386 I can have mutiple telnet sessions open while
ftp'ing from UNIX to a Novell lan server.

The only box we have been unable to get online with everything else
is a MacII.
