Cool

Yes it can.

It used to be that there was a FOC client on the Novell site but now there is a link to one that you have to purchase from a 3rd party.

It works with Chooser & also creates a mac area on the novell server, so you have to mount the required volume. You also need to have the mac.nlm loaded...

Works well but a bit tricky to set up.

Oh just read it again ...

If running TCPIP (I presume) then you can set up the mac to use the gateway that you use for Internet access NP
