This brought back some fond memories of writing courseware and teaching NetWare classes at a startup called Logical Operations. We published courses that were an alternative to the official Novell courseware for earning your CNA/CNE. I'm pretty sure I still have my CNE (and MCSE) pin in a box around here somewhere. One of my co-worker's classroom tricks was to establish a network connection via ARCNet over a length of barbed wire. Logical Operations ran their own Novell network. I recall the server would freeze up periodically. Our admin rigged up a phone line and a relay...call the number and it would power cycle the server. That way, he didn't have to drive into the office to reboot the server at night. <shakes head> From there, I started teaching DBase courses, which led to programming, which is where my career has been ever since.
