   As far as I understand (and that's not too far!), Oracle has notS NOT    released a Netware v 4 NLM yet. So what you have is an    Oracle NLM specifically for v3.11 of netware. By default    these run at Ring 3 on a Netware 4 server. I think there    might be an option to run NLM's "unprotected" at ring 0.

   I guess try to look in the Netware manuals ? Or perhaps    post to "comp.sys.novell". They should help you out.
