- The drivers for PCNFS, novell ODI, and NDIS are all incompatible
- with each other. PCNFS includes NDIS drivers. NDIS and ODI are
- two different standards for allowing one card to communicate using
- several different protocols (such as novell IPX and TCP/IP). Novell
- does provide an NDIS driver for the IPX protocol to talk to Novell
- server. It came with the last update novell sent out. I think it
- is ODINSUP.COM. If you use this with the NDIS drivers for PCNFS,
- maybe it could solve your dilema. (PS I haven't tried it yet).
- Using the NDIS drivers will let you do the "low level" stuff and
- the lanworkplace for dos and PCNFS will do the high level stuff.
- Hope this helps.
