Connecting to Foxpro2.6 w/Win2kClient

I pirchased 3 laptops w/ Win2k Pro for our exec’s and tried to get them to attatch to our leasing system (Fox Pro 2.6a, 16 bit Dos application written for us), that resides on a Novell Server.
When I log the user in and the Zenworks app come uo andthe Icon for Foxpro when clicked on “does not respond to bring up the leasing program.
Is there any way I can get Win2k(32 bit) to be compatible with our lease system or do I need to return these laptops for Win 98 ?
Any help would be appreciated!!
