I presume that what you want to do is to be able to have data stored on your
Novell server to be accessible from web pages or via ftp. I would accomplish
this by running a web server on your Linux box, and mounting volumes from the
Novell server on it, using the NCP file system. Thus the web server on your
linux box will be able to serve data stored on the Novell system.

We use a similar scheme here to provide access to a public directory on one of
our Novell servers to people who run WfW and Win95 but don't use Novell
clients; we mount the Novell stuff on linux using ncpfs, then export it as a
samba share.

Hope this helps.
