CAE NetServer access to V3R2 IFS? (was RE: Client Access "Signon to AS/400" window)

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Answers:
1) I log into Novell (not NT)
2) I am using a Windows NT 4 (SP6) client
3) n/a (no NT signon, but FWIW, my Novell logon and AS/400 user ID are
not the same)

So, can I set up NetServer in this environment?  And will NetServer
allow me to access V3R2 & V3R7 IFS via mapped drives?

Remember the end target of this request is to be able to lose the
"Signon to AS/400" window each time I start a session on a given AS/400.
(Except for the first time I ever used it, I never had this on my old
Win95 desktop.)
