[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Netware for the Mac

I would be interested in hearing peoples experiences with Netware for
the Macintosh (from the PC perspective, server, workstation to printer, 
bridges, etc).  

We originally installed version 1.0 last summer and were met with limited
success.  Every time we booted the server we had about a 75% chance that
the server would abend and die.  We never did get the printer services vap
to load.  Around the first of the year we received an upgrade to version
1.1 and rev C/D of Netware.  The vaps still abend most of the time and when
they do load, the printer services are pretty shaky (from the PC's).  

Has anyone ran the Appletalk gateway from a bridge?  I've tried this too
with no success.

Is this just a bad product?  Version 1.0 was admitted by Novell to be very 
buggy.  I don't see that version 1.1 has improved upon it at all.
