The interfaces available for each service are largely determined by the protocols supported by the
service.

Browsers and personal digital assistants require support for the HTTP protocol.

Each workstation type has file access protocols associated with it. Linux uses NFS as its native
protocol for file services access, Macintosh workstations communicate using AFP or CIFS, and
Windows workstations use the CIFS protocol for file services.

Novell Client software for both Windows and Linux uses the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) to
provide the file services for which Novell is well known.
