Okay, thanks for the clarification. I got mail from another gentleman who
said basically the same thing, that Netware can run over either IPX or IP.

My goal is to eventually get them converted over to mosly Linux systems. Even
if I can't get that, I'd like to replace their NetWare servers with Linux
servers. If that's the case, I'd think that leaving TCP/IP in place and let
Linux run ncpfs would leave a better segway into a full Linux network.

Thank you very much for your help! If you could give me your opinion on that
last paragraph above, I'd appreciate your input.
