I believe it will help to remember what Netware/IP requires.  It requires at 
least one Netware server configured to act as a DSS (domain sap server).  The 
DSS takes the IP packet from the workstation and adds the missing parts of 
NCP.  The packet is then placed back on the wire to the Netware file server 
of interest.
The reverse happens on the workstation, where stuff is added to the IP packet 
from the DSS to make IPX that the workstation uses.
Tunneling just places an IP header on the IPX packet.  When the tunneled 
packet reaches it's destination, the IP header is dropped and the IPX packet 
used.
From this I trust you see that Netware/IP is not tunneling.  Because the 
packet from the workstation to the DSS IP, not IPX with a header.
