    sorry, but i was under the impression that Novell offered a card for their
    file server (a micom interlan NP-600) that allowed for tcp-ip access from any
    novell netware to a tcp-ip ethernet. i am under the impression that they
    are running tcp-ip buried inside their own packets, and the file server 
    is stripping them out and passing them to the NP600. i have seen this 
    work for ethernet, and was under the impression that it worked for all the 
    networking schemes that novell supported.

No need to be sorry.  The TCP is on the server, not on the client.
The server merely presents it as resource accessible via IPX.  Because
the TCP never really exists on the client, it can't be called co-resident.
