I've been essentially off the internet for about 5 years after moving here from San Diego and didn't subscribe to an ISP until recently. It's basically like stepping out of a time capsule. A lot has changed online since I was off the internet back in '91. I stated Novell compatability since it is what I am familiar with and the fact that commercial MS-DOS/Windows applications work in a Novell network environment without much of a hassle. The only other alternative without doing some research to my knowledge is PCNFS but I don't know if a freeware version is available at this time. Doubtful since I haven't seen anything on usenet regarding a freeware PCNFS. JCA
