  Amos,

  Here's what you need to do:

  First you'll want to get the latest stable kernel source from
linux.ucs.indiana.edu

  Then go into the configuration for the kernel and enable these things.

   Networking options:
  
      The IPX protocol

   Filesystems:

      NCP filesystem support   <-- this is so you can mount your locker.


  After you build the kernel then you'll want to reboot and run this
command:

    ipx_interface add -p eth0 etherII

   the -p option makes eth0 the primary ipx interface and etherII is the
type of frame(packet) that IU uses.

    then you can mount a locker like this:

    ncpmount -S xenon -V L01 -u amos -U amos.users.iub locker/


   make sure that you substitute amos with your IU username and that
you've created a directory called 'locker'.

   To see that the locker is mounted you can do a 'df -a'.

  That's really all there is to it. This procedure is also documented at:

    http://linux.ucs.indiana.edu/linux/netware.html

  Enjoy,

  Suso
