Maybe I'm mistaken, but there seems to be some IPX support in the
Linux kernel.

       I believe that if enough people were interested, and those
       people began calling Novell's marketing people asking when a port to 
       FreeBSD/Linux/NetBSD was going to be available, we'd see UnixWare for
       free u*ix before too long.

Well, how many people who run free Un*x variants would shell out a
"reasonable amount" of money (e.g., $1000) for UnixWare?  I suspect
it's very few.  That's not going to attrace Novell's attention.
