- Don't forget IPX. You get the license for that when you buy the
- basic Pathworks license ... you just have to buy the media and
- documentation kit to actually implement it. Of course, the IPX

- servers will expect either DECnet or TCP/IP. Or at least that's
- true until DEC releases its new product for Novell integration
- that is an implementation of Novell's portable NetWare.
