- MultiNet Services for NetWare Users provides the server side of NetWare to PC
- clients. It provides file service and print service, as well as tunneling
- IPX over IP. We also plan to support VMS file and print client services as
- well in the near future. We can't solve your problem currently, but should be
- able to in the near future.
-
- Novell themselves may provide something of a solution, however. You may want
- to investigate their NFS NetWare Loadable Module. I know that it provides
- NetWare to LPD printing facilities, allowing PC users to print to LPD print
- queues (we support an LPD server in MultiNet). The NFS NLM may also support an
- LPD server itself, which would allow MultiNet users to print files via our LPR
- client facilities. I don't know all that much about the NFS NLM, however, but
- it may be worth investigating.
