Subject: [OS2NetWare] - Netware IP Client for OS2

Thanks, Vaughn. I think that I'll revisit this situation once I'm 
through this week (end of tax season). The best would perhaps be to set 
up a poll on my site and publicize it on the usual channels. Once that's 
done, and we have at least some barometer for how many licenses we could 
possibly sell, the next step would be get a fair estimate of the cost 
involved in developing the client, and to approach Novell with a 
proposal (we need at least some of the source code to the existing 
client and perhaps a good portion of the code for the Win32 client).

Once I can get my head clear to think straight, I'll start scripting the 
poll, and kick it around here for feedback before posting it.
