Yeah! You're right, but you can donwload new NLMs from ftp.novell.com
with new version TCPIP.NLM (+ TCPCON, INETCFG,...) It'll look and work
like NetWare 4.1 (or 11) TCPIP. It support CIDR, It can run RIP2, OSPF,
and EGP.
We're using 3 netware servers with 3.12, and 4.1. It run OSPF fine.
Every Server has 5 NC.
