________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the IPX(tm) gateway software, which Novell(R) provides to
support networked applications that use the MacIPX(tm) transports. The IPX
gateway is LAN driver software, and the IPX gateway can be used on
computers running the Novell NetWare(R) operating system, version 3.11 or
later, or the NetWare Multiprotocol Router(tm) software (MPR), version 2.0
or later.

You need the IPX gateway software *only* under specific circumstances: you
are using a MacIPX-based application on network segments that use only the
AppleTalk(R) transport protocol to connect Macintosh(R) workstations to the
network. Such "AppleTalk-only" segments result from technological or
administrative conditions; the segment may use LocalTalk or another cable
served by a third-party AppleTalk router, or a network administrator may
want to designate a segment for AppleTalk traffic only.  

If you use Ethernet or Token Ring segments to connect your Macintosh
workstations to an IPX network and if you permit IPX traffic on those
segments, then you do *not* need this README file or the IPX gateway
software.


**************************************************************
  * PLEASE NOTE: MacIPX software provides support for IPX
    transport protocols. It does not enable Macintosh users
    connected to the IPX network to log in to a NetWare
    server or to print documents on NetWare printers. Users
    and developers must rely on other software to support
    NetWare file and print services.

Installation Instructions:

To install the IPX gateway on the NetWare server or NetWare Multiprotocol
Router, copy the file MACIPXGW.LAN to the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the
server.

Make sure that the SYSTEM directory is in the server's or router's search
path.

In addition, the MACIPXGW.MSG and MACIPXGW.MDB files provided with the IPX
gateway must be copied over to the SYS:SYSTEM directory on NetWare 4.0
servers. These files are *not* required for NetWare 3.x.

Please refer to the MACIPXGW.TXT documentation text file (included in this
zip file) for further instructions on loading and using the IPX Gateway LAN
drivers.

Support for the IPX Gateway is available by calling Novell Technical
Support at 1-800-NETWARE at a charge of $50 per incident.  You can also
post questions to NetWire on Compuserve in NOVA Section 5.
