We use BorderManager at our school for our entire LAN. It presents *ZERO*
problems to Linux clients. The NetWare admin may be using a proxy server,
but that's no big deal either. Let me know if you have any questions about
making it work.

Authenticating to NDS is a slightly different story (if that's even
relevant in this case). There is an NDS PAM module out there somewhere,
but I haven't installed it yet. That's on my To Do list.
