Then you're actually running NetBEUI over Novell, which will add to the network traffic; depending on the situation this may add up to a large slowdown, or pass unnoticed, or anything in between. Another thing is that it takes some fiddling around all the stations involved. When it works, it works nice. I remember having done that without knowing two protocols are running concurrently at all - printed to a Novell remote printer using IPX, and printed to a W95 station's laser using NetBEUI. Worked fine, but this was just a six machines shop.
