I currently have a two server network, one server has a Novell NL1000
card with Mac VAPs running, the other a Novell NE2000 with Mac VAPs.
The Macs that use Appletalk (PhoneNet cabling) can see the first
server, the Macs that use Appletalk (ethernet) can see the second.
Q1: If I install a NE2000 in the first server can a Mac talking
ethernet then see both servers, and choose which to log in to?
Q2: If I leave the NL1000 in the first server and also install a
NE2000 as above, will this work as well (that is, a user can talk to
the server irrespective of their cabling, because we have both types
of cards installed).
Any and all answers welcome!

No. Any third party AppleTalk router would solve this problem. The FastPath, GatorBox, Liason, Apple Router, and even NetWare v3.11 with NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 will do. ++Tim =========================================== Tim Myers Senior Software Consultant Novell, Inc.
