Hi all,
 
My boss seems to think that there's a way to setup Linux machines to
communicate with Windows via IPX/SPX using a Netware machine as a
go-between.  He seems to think it might be safer, security-wise, instead
of establishing a Samba share.  I tend to disagree, seeing as though if
you're behind a sensitive firewall, you really don't have much to worry
about.
 
If any of you can help me difuse his argument, please do so.  Any and
all info would greatly appreciated.
 
Tx!
