As far as I know there is no such thing for Sun workstations but there is for the NCR System 3300/3400 SV.4 machines. A 3300/3400 running NCR NetWare/X can serve PCs running as Novell clients. Macintosh clients can access the server via a Novell NetWare bridge running the Mac VAPs. The System 3300/3400 can also run TCP/IP and NFS to allow it to access other UNIX machines. This allows PC, Mac, and UNIX machines to access files on the 3300/3400. Ed Haubach

Interactive also has a unix/netware server based on portable netware.

OK, while we're at it... Altos, DG, HP, MIPS, Prime, and of course, Wang all have (I believe) announced some UNIX hardware supporting Portable Netware. They are probably selling it separately from the hardware, so if you already own the right hardware, you can buy it. -- Lyle Wang lws@capybara.comm.wang.com 508 967 2322 Lowell, MA, USA Source code: the _ultimate_ documentation.

You have to have both the right hardware and the right OS. This may not be universally true but appears to be for 386 based UNIX although Novell has the option to change things.
