OK, let's try making some sense here. My school (Leyada in Jerusalem)
has the EXACT same configuration. This is what happens.
You have your Netware server, providing print/file services to PC stations
via IPX. At the same time, you have a seperate Linux server providing
Internet services to those PCs via TCP/IP. Our Linux server is a nameserver,
webserver and all the rest. There does not need to be ANY connection
between your Novell server and your Linux machine (although there can
be). So, simply put in the router, connect it to the frame relay and
your Ethernet. Set up your Linux to be a nameserver. Make your PCs
speak TCP/IP (you'll probably have to change some of the drivers your
PCs load to connect to the Novell network), assign IP addresses to them,
and they're on the net.
