   This particular section is rather anti-Novell. Forgive me, but this is
   a Win95 FAQ, not a NetWare FAQ. My objective is to make using Win95
   easier, and if it means patching and hacking the server, so be it.
   Chances are, you have a lot more clients than servers. :-)
   
   Novell MHS mail system users will want to check out the MS
   Exchange FAQ, especially the part about the MHS delivery service now
   available from Infinite Technologies. This lets you use Exchange or MS
   Outlook clients and not have to change your mail server.
