Yes, the Personal Netware servers can be used alongside Netware 3.12 servers
by workstations. However, you need different client software to get to the
Personal Netware servers; the client software you are currently using for your
Novell server doesn't speak Personal Netware.

Also, be aware that there is not a 32-bit Personal Netware client for the
Windows 95. I've looked through the tech notes on Novell's web site which
discuss installing Personal Netware support with Win95 and it looks like
lots of fun; basically, you have to use the old MS-DOS client software and
load it before Win95 starts the GUI.
