Novell and NT talking?

I have an existing Novell Lan (no idea about Novell, always been NT). We are looking at creating a new training centre, would NT be able to get access to existing apps on an AS/400 and Novell network? If so, how would I do this?

It was rumoured that we could use Terminal Server, how would Win 2K manage in this environment?

Any pointers appreciated, my Novell knowledge is next to nothing.
 
You can use an NT server running IPX and the Novell client to access a Novell server. You can also use the NT server to connect your clients via the NT server to the Novell server as a gateway.

Once on the Novell, need to know what apps and what you want to do as to whether it is possible.
 
You could also use Microsoft's client for Netware to access the Novell server. (included on the Windows CD) However, this only gives bindary access (No NDS rights).
With NDS Corporate Edition from Novell, you could manage users on all three platforms with Netware Administrator. However, if you are new to Novell, I would suggest some training in NDS first. (At least systems administrator and advanced systems administrator courses.
