Ken, 

We are doing the same thing.  What I did is call the guy that sold us Netware.
He said Novell is very aware of the problem and is promising a product soon
( first quarter 91 ??) .  So I am on his call back list when that product 
appears.

We use a PC version of "telnet" to log into our Suns.  I will soon try
the following. (1) Install tcp/ip on the SCO Unix 486.  (2) Try to use
the same "telnet" I am using now from my PC to get to the 486.  You
didn't say which "SVR3 Unix" you were running, but this should work.

I'm sure the Novell stuff will (evenutally) be transparent, convienent, etc.,
BUT if you just want to log in, try getting the "National Center for Super-
Computing"  's version of PC telnet, or mail me and I will send it to you.

I'm currently sending this message from an AST 286 PC with WD8003E card
running under DESQView connected via NCSA Telnet 2.3 beta 11 to an
SCO ODT (SCO UNIX 3.2.1) 486 box.

"ftp" from the SCO box to the PC also works fine (when NCSA Telnet is
running in server mode).

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but we use
the Wollongong WIN/TCP product.  If I use the ipx from Novell
& login to Novell, then run the wintcp stuff, I can ftp
from my "local" Novell drive (F: in my case) to & from Unix
(via ethernet; western digital in my pc, 3com in the Novell box).
We are running Novell advanced 286.  In 386 boxes.  SCO Xenix 2.3.1,
tcp/ip 1.0.1h  and some SCO UNIX 3.2.2
Hope this helps.
