Such a thing does not exist and probably never will. What you have to get is the TCP/IP version of SQL*Net on the Novell server, which can run concurrently with the IPX/SPX version.

NeXTSTEP DbKit is based on TCP/IP communication, there is no way to make it connect via IPX/SPX even though the NeXT kernel can do IPX for direct file server access.
