Novel uses its own protocols for accessing servers running their network OS. It's likely that you will need a Novel client to connect to the Novel server, but maybe you don't have to "buy" the client software. Check out Novel's site to see what they say.
If you don't critically need what's on that server, I'd take my time at this. Not only is Novel's protocol suite kind of involved to set up, it isn't nearly as fast as it should be. Better to get the best version of the client and get it properly configured than to rush around and get disappointing results.
