Could you be more specific? Do you mean you without loading IPX on Windows
clients you want to be able to map fileshares from Netware resource?
Send print jobs to Netware resource?

Linux does have some support for Netware. Are you looking for some kind
of gateway function? One could mount an Netware fileshare on a Linux box
and then share it out as a Windows fileshare using SaMBa. 

You would need ncpfs on the linux box for the Netware client part.
I suggest that you start by reading the IPX and SaMBa HOW-TOs.
