Novell 5.1 / AFP Server Object and Mac Connections HELP!

[iliv2mtb]

Hi, we've currently been running with great success a cross platform network with 4.11. Using afp etc we've been able to use the Macs on the network without needing the Prosoft Client. Now we've got a requirement to upgrade to 5.1 on a few servers and need the same ability. I've tried configuring appletalk in the standard way however the only thing I can find in regards to afp is the server object you may create. I've tried this and attempted to configure it with no luck. Does anyone know if this is still possible (to access 5.1 without the client for file services only) and if so can anyone suggest anything I may be missing.... thanks for the help

regards

We used NetWare 5 Services for Appleshare, and didn't even need to client software on the macs.

Novell took out mac in netware 5.1 and you need to purchase seperate.

I was afraid of that, I'm aware of that product but as almost everything I needed seemed to be built in I thought I could do without... I'll have to sort that one out then. Thanks for the advice..
