Hi

I've played for a while today trying to mount a Novell
Netware server in linux, to access it from DOSemu.
I succeded, using the kernel modules 'ipx' and 'ncpfs'
and the packages ipx-utils and ncpfs-2.2.0 to mount
with ncpmount command.
I was able to run dosemu, to get into my server
directories and run some programs like norton
commander from there.

The only thing was the speed. 
It takes about 3 seconds to show me a 'dir'.

Someone else tried all these stuff and succeded? 

Sometimes it gave me an error when I tried to 'ls' the
netware mounted directory in a linux console:
#>ls
 ls: stale NFS file handle

but even when it works fine it is sooo slow...


Well, thanks!
