If it's just IP and Appletalk there's plenty of freeware from FreeBSD/Linux/NetBSD/OpenBSD that'd work. The trick is having the code to allow it to work in the Netware 4 or Netware 3 environment. These guys are looking for platforms that might have more of a lifespan than Netware 3 or 4 and they're unsure about going to Netware 5. Most are now trying NT. There's a lot of Oracle on netware out there that's looking for a home on either NT or Unix. The same holds true with OS/2 Server... A lot of them run Notes and apps like Oracle or DB/2. For file services just about anything will work with them.
