Hi, A week ago I posted the question printed below about connecting Novell networks and Ethernet TCP/IP networks. The gist of all the replies is that it *does* work on the same network, you can make PCs talk *both* Novell and TCP/IP protocols. Also, there should be no problem with repeaters since they are protocol indepentent. Several of the responses were complete with instructions about how to do things. All the responses are available using anonymous ftp from gvlv2.gvl.unisys.com in a file pub/novell.mail or I can mail it to you.
