Personally I'm in that situation. I can serve up : stuff using samba, but have you ever tried jamming netware, msclient : and a tcp/ip stack on a little old ms-dos machine? It leaves just : about enough room to do...well...not much. We kinda of "solved" this with ODIpkt driver. Gave it to Novell stuff, it worked. And from time to time where user needed to do TCP/IP (UUPC for DOS or NCSA telnet) she used to launch those applications with Waterloo TCP stack compiled in, and ODIpkt served as a plain packet driver to those, and Novell disks were accessible too. But in the case of an all-time-resident TCP stack for DOS (i.e. FTP Software stuff) ... ooghh.
