Chris,

There are two routes you can go. If you enable AFP services on the Netware
box then you can access the Netware server just like any other Mac server
through the chooser. However, you can't get authenticaed to the tree this
way.

If you want to have "more full" access to the Netware services, you'll want
to install Netware for Macintosh, which allows you to authenticate to the
tree and access printers, file servers, etc just as if you were a PC client
(ie there is no configuration necessary of the server). For info on the
IntraNetware client for MacOS, go to:

Here's the hitch though. I don't know if the current Netware for Mac
client will work with Netware5. Novell has sourced their mac client
development to Prosoft, and I don't think they have released a Netware5
client. The press release about this agreement (which inlucdes a link to
the prosoft site) is at:
