Novell has offered native TCP/IP in-the-box longer than any other vendor. Period. End-of-discussion.

Any word to the contrary is bullshit. People might want to play word games with what this means exactly (and I'm sure Mr. Lethe will be happy to start one), but the truth is that NetWare has supported native TCP/IP directly longer than any other NOS vendor. This includes running IPX-based services over IP, UNIX-related services like NFS, LPR/LPD, Telnet, and network management services like SNMP. No other NOS vendor comes close.

That article does a pretty good job of setting the record straight.
