What you want may be in the Linux kernel itself; the below comes from the
Kernel documentation.
This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly
used for local networks of Windows machines. You need it if you want
to access Novell Netware file or print servers using the Linux
Novell client ncpfs (available via ftp (user: anonymous) from
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/) or from within the
Linux DOS emulator dosemu (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available in
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO). In order to do the former,
you'll also have to say Y to "NCP filesystem support", below. To
turn your Linux box into a fully featured Netware file server and
IPX router, say Y here and fetch either lwared from
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/daemons/ or mars_nwe from
ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs. For more information, read the
IPX-HOWTO in sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/howto. The IPX driver
would enlarge your kernel by about 5 kB. This driver is also
available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed
from the running kernel whenever you want). If you want to compile
it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
Unless you want to integrate your Linux box with a local Novell
network, say N.
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
used by Novel NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to IPX
what nfs is to tcp/ip, if that helps. Enabling this option allows
you to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just
like any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt in the kernel source and the
IPX-HOWTO on sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/howto. If you want to
compile this as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and
removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and
read Documentation/modules.txt.
