Re: FN-FORUM Open Source Netware??

And after following the link to Mars NWE this might be useful too.

I remember playing with Mars a few years back. AFAICR it was ok but not
good enough to replace the Netware install in use at the time. Dunno
what it's like now though.

For what it's worth I'd go for a Samba setup and sort out a VPN using
Linux. Time is all it takes ;)
