Is there a solution to this network challeng?

A school has a Novel 3.? network linking 25 286's without hard disks,
via ethernet to the server. They want me to tell them what it would
take to make the OS2/TCP/IP 2.0 system we installed (as an Internet
gateway), the Novel server, and permit the individual workstations
to access the Internet.

They don't want to throw a lot of money at it, or be required to
run 25 copies of something on the individual stations to do this,
because they hope to replace the 286s someday.

IIs this doable, taking the following into account?

We have installed OS2 multi-user Lora BBS software on the OS2
server, and can redirect anyone logging into it via modem
out the telnet etc port. By running an alternate telnet daemon
(Teldor) which redirects the stream out any port. So we can
do this from all 25 stations via serial ports. Can we do it
via Novell. (*not* turning each workstation into an IP address,
but just 'another' BBS --> telnet login)

Well, from the silence on this list to the above question, I guess
I have to conclude that there is no way to do this

So I will recommend the school shit-can the Novell.
