Howard,

As far as getting your data to the Novell Network I use a FTP server
on the Novell server (HellSoft Shareware).  I then run bftp on
our UNIX machine that schedules file transfers between machines.

This FTPD NLM is available on the internet.

This seems to work fine.

One nice thing about the FTP on NOVELL is that I run one deamon(NLM)
on server and that gives me FTP access to all servers.
