Jeff - I would suggest the Novel client software at
novelclient.sourceforge.net
I've been running version 0.82 for some months without any
problems at all under RedHat 7.3. It has a nice Novell-like
gui interface that is easy for users to understand if they
are already familiar with Windoze clients. The client mounts
each Netware volume as a subdirectory under the tree/server
directory that is created at setup. As an example, I'm browsing
the CPCTREE and looking at server POP386 with volumes below that
so it's just a simple
ls -l /CPCTREE/POP386
to see the volumes. Overall the tool has served me very well on
our linux desktops.
Best,
Loren
