    IBM used to sell a product called NetWare Services for AIX. It basically
    allowed an AIX box to appear as if it were a NetWare server. It hasn't
    been updated in years, and to be quite frank, I don't even know if it's
    sold by IBM any more or if it will run on modern versions of AIX.

    What was interesting about the package was that there was no NetWare
    client on it; AIX could not see other NetWare servers even as it was
    emulating one.
