If you feel you must use IB for NetWare, you MUST run it as a dedicated
database server (i.e. IB is the ONLY thing running on that box) or I can
guarantee that you will have problems.
You can still use the same NOS, just add another server box that is not
NetWare. Get a Linux box if cost is an issue. You will be much better
off using IB for Linux, Unix or NT than IB for NetWare--ESPECIALLY if
you use the same server box for IB as you do for file and print
services.
