Novell managed DOS clients well. You would remote boot a diskless DOS
machine and store all of your files on a network drive - or have a
specific login script that was catered to your username, so you'd have
the same environment no matter where you logged into.

NETX

Were the earlier drivers - they were relatively big, which impacted your
DOS memory. I used to carry them on a floppy disk.
