I also agree with Neil, but I have a couple of comments about Steve's solutions:
 
When we tried using portable Netware we had problems copying file from other
areas into the Netware directories. example was creating a file through a host
application and moving it into Netware space to make it available to PC clients.
 
we were using Netware for HPUX and Netware/iX.
 
Also using the file services on the HP3000 degraded system performance.  We used
NBSPOOL to print through novell print servers.

I (partially) agree with Neil on the dead duck, but we have been running
Netware/iX on our 927LX under MPE/iX 5.0, and before that, running
Netware/XL under MPE/iX 4.0, alongside a Netware 3.11 PC server.
 
Using Netware/iX to as a print server for Netware 3.11 PC users allows us to
use spooled laser printers attached to our DTC as network printers.  Mind
you, at 9600 baud, I don't recommend printing graphics on these printers.
Unless you don't mind waiting...
 
Netware/iX also has a neat little utility called NWIXCOPY, which I used to
transfer files to the PC file server from the HP-3000, usually in batch jobs.
 
Anyone else use NWIXCOPY?  Anyone experience any problems?
