You mean you want to turn your FreeBSD box into a Novell server?  It's
possible, but it costs a little money.  Check out http://www.netcon.com
- they have it available for FreeBSD 2.1.x and 2.2 both.  We use it at
Walnut Creek CDROM and it appears to work just fine - our Novell clients
see the FreeBSD box as just another Novell server.
