SPX/IPX [Was: Off Topic - Novell Contractor Needed]

[Duston, Hal]

Joel,

Well, I know that IPX support is supposedly fixed in the kernel. 
SPX support was never finished, but I had a conversation with 
the person who is going to try to finish it in the next few 
months or so, and offered to help him with testing.  As far as 
utilities, I think ifconfig supports the IPX stuff if I recall 
correctly.  Just checked, it does.  I don't recall the name or 
location of the IPX specific utilites, but I have them at home.  
They may have even been present on my Redhat 6.0 CD, but I can't 
say for certain.  Just checked, ipxutils-2.2.0.12-5.i386.rpm 
appears to be present on the Redhat 6.0 CD.
