I read on the web about the Linux-IPX howto.  Apparently, Linux has
virtually full IPX support (client, routing, server and printer sharing) 
with an external package known as ipxtools.  I don't know how well it works 
though.  Consequently, I also did look into Samba.  That package will 
serve my purpose just as well as having full IPX support under FreeBSD.
It's basically a toss up between how I want to implement the connectivity
via IPX or Samba.  I only looked at it briefly but it seems that Samba can
be compiled as an NLM for a Netware server as well.
