Networking CD ROM via Novell

Another option that works pretty well with Netware 3.xx or 4.xx is the
Microtest discport soloution, which invovles attaching generic scsi
towers or external drives to a discport (or discport pro) unit that
attaches directly to the ethernet. All drives may be mounted as netware
volumes, or as subdirectories of a netware volume (cdrom:medline1 etc.).

they also sell software which can be used on pc's dedicated to cdrom
serving only, which I beleive includes a runtime version of netware 4.x.

With discports the drives can be anywhere on an ethernet.
