Re: What is CANA Certification?

Yeah it would have to be a CNA or possibly CNE for Netware 4.11, I doubt they offer test for that since they are now upto netware 6.5 but a CNA on NW 5.1, 6, or 6.5 would probably work.

Re: Laptop. OnStart NoScreen FanYes. RAM? Power Supply? MotherBoard?

Re: ram upgrade

Yeah 256MB would be minimum to run decently in my opinion but 384 should definitely be good enough (you could run it at 191MB as well but it may be a bit slow).
