True, but it seems more like a freebie that Novell bundled for the use of people who could use it rather than a marketed package. If you can use it (it *does* serve a purpose after all) then use it. If you need to route IPX and Appletalk LANS, then use a runtime version of Netware. If you want a fulltime router, get a copy of MPR or another "real" router".
