The first product to bear the NetWare name was released in 1983. The original product, NetWare 68 (AKA S-Net), ran on Novell's proprietary 68000-based file server hardware, and used a star network topology. This was later joined by NetWare 86, which could use conventional Intel 8086-based PCs for the server. This was replaced in 1985 with ...

Aside from the more easily copied firewall and VPN access point services, Novell designed the proxy services to retrieve web data with a server-to-server connection rather than a client-to-server connection as all of the prior proxy servers on the ...
