Hi Everybody,

I'm interested in Portable Netware running on UNIX boxes. Which companies
have it running (now) and which companies will show their product at next
months CeBIT computer show in Hannover/Germany ? Any hints greatly
appreciated.

Has anyone any experiences or comments on the performance and utility
of portable netware on UNIX hosts, in particular HP-UX?  We are considering
buying it for some or all of our large HP-UX systems (9000/870 and 855s)
perhaps to act as user file-servers in a hierarchy of file-servers
where the pc software lives on more local pc type systems.

How easy is it for the user and administrator to handle an environment
where he/she may use both UNIX and Novell systems to process the same
data.

Any opinions welcome.

Rob Thirlby.
