Re: To use Netware or not ???

Is this NetWare server going to be a file server too? If so, then having Oracle there is a bad idea. If not, why use NetWare at all? IMHO NT will be more reliable and you'll get better support from Oracle. If you don't want to use TCP/IP, Oracle/NT will support SPX/IPX. Your NetWare users will never know the difference
