I reeeally hate to say this ( because I love RH ) but you should probably
look into OpenLinux 1.3.
Caldera has done it's homework on Netware and has an unmatched Netware
Client progam/setup that works great.

Supposedly it can be used with RH5.x but I desided that it was a good excuse
to spend some company money and got the whole shooting match on CD.

You can download just the Netware for Linux stuff from their site
 http://www.caldera.com ) and/or order it.

Anyway COL1.3 comes with the NW4Linux built in and the setup/install is not
to bad. I had it working and talking to our servers in 5 min. on my Linux
box.
