We're doing this now using a Shiva LanRover/E.  This box supports DOS,
Windows, and Macintosh connections and gives full access to our Netware
servers, Telnet access to our Unix boxes, and full access to our campus
Internet connection (Netscape, Mosaic, Gopher, etc).  Unfortunately we don't
have incoming Telnet on our 3000 boxes so we still have to dial directly in
to those.  This setup is working fine for us, although you quickly learn
that you don't want to try to load programs from your Netware server unless
you've got the patience of Job!  But it works great for accessing data
files, Netware printers, etc.
