According to my references they are also called "datagrams".

 Chappell, Laura A & Hakes, Dan E.
 "Novell's Guide to NetWare LAN Analysis", 2nd edition.
 Novell Press (Sybex), 1994.

This was about all Novell released into public distribution
about their protocols until the NetWare Link State Protocol
specification, which would be a better reference (but I
can't find).
