My crazy network experiment is to get a tokenring network setup between some old PCs and some Nubus Macs using Netware 4.11 on an old PC server (which will have TCP/IP via ethernet and a tokenring card).

Caldera had access to NetWare source code and briefly offered a free product called NetWare for Linux. It was a NetWare 4.x clone (I have no idea how well third party NLMs ran) running on a limited number of Linux distros. I experimented with it using RedHat 5.0.

Now there's something interesting! During what time frame did this happen? Still available?
