[WinMac] Macs in Win world query

I am about to begin a new job in an academic department in a nearly wholly
Wintel university. They are prepared to buy me a computer, but I'm a
long-term Mac user and have been warned to expect strong resistance. What
information should I be armed with in order to convince the powers that
decide that accepting a Mac into their midst won't be any trouble? I'm
capable of configuring TCP/IP settings and the like, but am generally
unfamiliar with more serious networking issues.

The building I'm in has standard ethernet ports with IP connections, but
the building also has a Novell Netware network (the first thing one sees
after booting a building computer is a Netware login prompt).

Any advice or recommendations most appreciated.

Geoff
