I've been trying to persuade one of them to install FreeBSD on a few computers as a workstation, and I think the current IPX stuff can handle that. However, I'd be more interested in trying to convice them to ditch Netware (and NT) completely and let FreeBSD with Samba handle all of the networking serving. The only thing I can't figure out is how to handle the authencication issues. Perhaps a FreeBSD guru could shed some light on this (as working without authentication is completely out of the question. El hombre mas brillante dijo una vez "Cuidado hay NT".
