It will be in there. You can also set it at the console with a command something like "set tcp delayed acknowlegement = off". I don't believe the setting stays permanently that way, however (unless you add it to the autoexec.ncf).

I tried a Google search with no luck, and a search of Novell's website didn't return anything to me. I'm not a Netware person at all so I have no idea what to even suggest to her. The systems in question are on Netware 6.5--do you know if the option still exists there, and if so, how I can guide her to it? Thanks much!
