I tried to connect to GW on NetWare (GW 6.5) last year (there should be
messages in the archive) and was told here that it was supported only on
the Linux version. So I've been waiting for my team at work to bring GW
up under Linux (likely this summer) so that I could try it, and
hopefully migrate my work desktop permanently to Linux. 

Can you expand on what you mean about the SOAP interface - is this a GW
server option?

Thanks,
