Hi everyone,

Perhaps you may assist me with this question.

Currently, we have a Novell 3.11 network running and we want an
Internet Server Gateway to provide the users internet access.

If I install the Internet Server onto the ethernet backbone thus
becoming part of our Novell network, would hackers be able to hack
into our Novell network and workstations??

Is our Novell network safe? Do we need to install a firewall on the
internet server?

any suggestions are deeply appreciated.
