Back in university days, I worked for a small department that had NetWare 3 Server. It was mostly used for printer sharing and email, using Pegasus Mail as the the client. I mostly remember a separate PC that ran Charon gateway to bridge the TCP/IP SMTP divide to provide larger Internet mail relay. The educational pricing for NetWare 4 wasn’t too bad and spent one summer planning and upgrading to it. Since it was small department it wasn’t too bad to administer, but could see the writing on the wall about the difficulties dealing with NDS clients on Windows and Mac workstations. Don’t know what happened to the systems after graduation, but assume some of it was eventually consolidated due to security. All the desktops and servers had direct Internet connections and were not NAT’d nor had hardware firewall. That could not have lasted too many more years in the late 90’s.
