I recieved a message about how to do this and some of the text of it 
follows. . .
I need to know what package to apt-get and install in FC1 to get it to 
work with the following stuff.

Using ncpfs Without mars_nwe
----------------------------

If you only need to enable your Linux PC to access existing Novell
NetWare servers, and you don't need to use your Linux PC as a server
or router, then you do not need mars_nwe.  You need ncpfs.

Under Redhat Linux 6.0, I got ncpfs (the Netware Client File
System) to work with my existing NetWare 3.12 server by adding
this series of commands to the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file,
so that it runs at boot time:

insmod ncpfs
# ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3
ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x21
ncpmount -S BURTON -U LINUX1 -n /burton

The first line, insmod ncpfs, worked.  But no subsequent lines work.
ipx_interface returns a command not found.
ncpmount returns a command not found also.

Thanks!
