*  PC Support on the NetWare 5250 Gateway has not proven dependable in all
System/38 environments.  

** AS/400 PC Support is supported through the Novell Twinax Adapter for PC
and the "Adapter Handler" software, which is needed in the Twinax
Workstation.

*** Requires emulation software for connectivity to the host. 


Novell has tested: 
     - IBM PC Support/36, Version 5.1
     - PC Support/38, Version 8.0
     - IBM PC Support, Version 2.0.  

IBM began shipping version 3.0 of AS/400 PC Support on 1/4/91.  It supports
both Token Ring and Ethernet connections.  When Novell receives Version 3.0
we will test the coexistence of NetWare and AS/400 PC Support Version 3.0.

NetWare LAN see TWEAK.TXT in NOVA Library 16.
