Neither Apple nor Novell has released a Novell client for OS-X. There's one available here:

http://www.prosofteng.com/index.php?prod&netware&ipbrief

BUT - it's not free, although there is a downloadable demo. Unless you need it really bad, I'd wait a while and see if a free client is released.

P.S. - the ProSoft client does not support IPX, or versions of NetWare earlier than 5.

You're going to have a very long wait for a free client. The reason the Novell stopped offering it was that it wasn't a high-demand item and therefore not cost-effective to develop and distribute it for free. Prosoft was offered the code that Novell had and took it from there. As a software vendor, their only stake in the whole Novell arena is this Apple client, that's the only thing they can make money from, so they're not going to give it away.

Isn't OS X Unix based? Doesn't Netware support a client-less login for Windows and Linux clients connecting to Netware 6 servers? Doesn't that mean a Mac running OS X could theoretically connect to a Netware 6 machine?
