<pet peeve> "Novell" is a company. It makes a number of products, one of which is "NetWare", another is "SUSE Linux". Tage, your customer has a "NetWare server", not a "Novell server". Tage states he wants to mount the NetWare partitions from SUSE Linux. A major issue here is that NetWare v3.12 is ANCIENT. It was EOLed about 7 YEARS ago. It only supports NCP (NetWare Core Protocol, what a NetWare client is going to want to use) over IPX. So the SUSE client must also support IPX - its not just a matter of loading the client and off you go. There was an FTP server for NetWare v3.x, part of a product suite called Unix File and Print Services for NetWare, but its not sold any more, and if Tage's customer doesn't have it, he's probably not going to be able to find it. Note that *modern* versions of NetWare (v5.1 and later) have Native File Access Protocol support (http://www.novell.com/products/nfa/) that will allow the NetWare server to appear as an NFS server for *NIX clients, as well as an AFP server for Macs and a CIFS server for Windoze. The latter could be combined with SAMBA support on the SUSE client. In any case, I think its rather silly for Tage's customer to be buying new hardware and new software and putting all this money into their computing environment and leaving the NetWare server languishing, running a version of the NOS from *last century*.

A client for Linux is likely what you'd want.
