There is certainly a way to do that but I didn`t find it yet.
To detect Novell network I found a snippet on SWAG.

-- detecting novell network snippet

include machine.e

sequence r
integer al
r = repeat(0,10)
r[REG_AX] = #7A00
r = dos_interrupt(#2F,r)
al = remainder(r[REG_AX],256)
if al != 255 then
    puts(1,"No Novell network detected.\n")
elsif r[REG_ES] != 0 or r[REG_DI] != 0 then
   puts(1,"Novell network detected.\n")
end if


Thanks for your offer to test sfx2.e on the network of your enterprise but
you rather
not take that risk. I can't garanti that it will not disrupt all the network.
