- Actually, from my reading of the article, (a little sidebar on Page 24 of
- the 12.14.92 issue) the conclusion that Novell will end support
- for native AppleTalk is one that appears to be drawn by the writer
- of the article. The statements by Steve Nelson appear to state that
- MacIPX will be another method for clients to connect to NetWare servers.

- >Anybody heard more details about this?
- I don't have any new info about this, but that is how I read the article.
-
- >What are the implications for Mac application compatibility?
- That is probably why it's in beta testing as of January (according to
- the article, anyway).

- Bah.
-
- Novell pays people to speak for them. They are called spokespeople.
- They do not have the title of "Network Administrator". I do.
