If a company doesnt have commercial based software that is better than an open source alternative, then well, that is their own fault. Companies out to make $ should strive to make value added software, make their products just *that* much better than opensource if they expect to stay in business.
The native OS client, in win32's case that would be cifs. Everything over IP, no ipx necessary.

There are two other file access options that can be used via webbrowser or win32 app - "iFolder" & "netdrive".
You have not had to use nwclient32 for years. NFAP does everything using the OS's native networking client for win32/mac/*nix. I dont know what you are complaining about.

Snag a local non-profit & help them, get them going with all the latest slickest stuff from novell and what opensource has to offer as a show of what you can do. http://www.giftsinkind.org/ has a great Novell product donation policy, & http://www.techsoup.org/ has some other good stuff too (i want that 24port cisco switch, can i be a nonprofit too?:))
Also check out www.computerclub.org/nonprofit.htm, that has some good links on it also, & had good luck with members of www.cristina.org too like reboot from Atlanta.
Plunk a couple of these very satisfied not-for-profit companies up as testimonials to your work & you may very well be off & running with your own consulting biz. Just dont forget about the nonprofits once you actually have paying clients.
Have you tried any of the following yet? (i am sure you have, but it never hurts to check)
Go check out http://www.jobomagic.com (no this is not spam to some worthless
jobsite). It is a huge listing of job websites, just start down the list &
setup your profile/agent at each site (then setup your mail filters:P). It
is not just a list of US sites, there are UK/HK/CH/etc sites on there, and
if you run across other sites that are not listed, submit them. You would
not only be helping yourself, you would be helping many others too.
Make sure your coverletter (which is important, most people dont care for an
email with the only thing included is a resume as an attatchment) is up to
snuff, & start posting it & your resume site by site. You could even go
through the local gold/platinum reseller list from Novell.com, maybe even
give microsoft's local reseller list a shot, citrix, etc...just email/hand deliver a copy of
your coverletter/resume even if they dont have job openings. At least you
would already be on their list when they do decide to start looking for
someone new.
You may even look into becoming a dba (doing business as, like $10 to
start), or LLC. Perhaps find some other unemployed IT people in your area
that would compliment your skillsets & start a business together, or
subcontract to them. Snag a local non-profit & help them, get them going as
your company's demo case with all the latest slickest stuff out there and
as a show of what you can do. Given time you could have your own consulting
business. www.giftsinkind.orghas a great Novell product donation
policy, & www.techsoup.org has some other good stuff too.
Novell has also recently come out with an enterprise secure IM product, it integrates into edir directly. Free for groupwise 6.5 owners.
