Novell, former market leader for local networks, provided "LAN WorkPlace for DOS" which also included a TCP/IP protocol stack and numerous programs. Some software for DOS can still be downloaded from Novell's site and used for free: * The NetWare ODI Client 16 Driver for MS-DOS (1996) (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13555.html (*01)) and the NetWare Client 32-Driver (1998) (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/downloads/dw271e.zip (*02)) allow DOS users to connect to a Novell NetWare Server. * Novell's TCP/IP Kernel "TCP16.EXE" (1996) (http://bbs.actapricot.org/files/area37/tcp16.exe (*03)) can still be used to run TCP/IP applications directly over ODI (see chapter Others). On the sites above Novell includes a warning that this soft- ware is neither maintained nor supported any longer. Useful information about Novell's DOS clients can still be found at the newsgroup "novell.support.os.client.dos-win3x", http://groups.google.it/group/novell.support.os.client.dos-win3x (*04) which was active until 2004. More recent information and useful links can be found at "DOS Solutions" (http://www.dossolutions.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/network.htm#nware (*05)).
