Q.
Where can I find more information about the NetWare Core Protocols (NCP) over IP TCP/UDP? A local government service provider needs to clear the security on the utilized ports to allow government sector to access the standard client-server access with VPN. They will want to know more about NCP before they give us the green light.

Dear Protocoled: For many years Novell considered the NetWare Core Protocols to be a trade secret. A couple of years ago, Novell Developer Support received permission to publish the NCP documentation on their Web site: http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ncp.htm
Granted, these documents are somewhat dated. The Web site lists the download as being dated August 19, 2001. Make sure you read the Revision History to see the changes made to the documents after the first publication in October 1996. This documentation should provide you with the information you need.
