NetWare and FR



Hi.

Our school has a Novell NetWare 3.12 network installed. Now they want to buy
a Frame Relay line to the 'net and connect the whole network through it. My
guess is that they will want to put all the stuff on the NetWare server - it
will be the DNS, the proxy, the web server, etc. I'd like to suggest them to
set up a Linux machine instead, that will do all that work much better and
faster, and will obviously get much load off the NW server which is
overloaded anyway. My question is - if I connect that Linux machine to the
'net via the FR, can I later connect the NetWare network to it and make it
use TCP/IP through this Linux box? It seems that the Linux box has to turn
to be a kind of a NW server, for the network to recognize it and use it -
after all NW is not a peer-to-peer but a server-based netork... Maybe
someone has any info on implementing that?
