Well, being broken doesn't mean it doesn't work at all. Actually, there were even a couple of patches for IPX during 1.1.x to keep it alive, but there are still at least two issues: performance can be much better (using IPX via the packet driver is now faster than via native IPX support), and it is still DPMI-unsafe (yes, this is the last subsystem that is still DPMI-unsafe in some cases. As soon as I figure out how can I test the code, I'll fix that one either). Performance is very important when you use it for games, and DPMI-safeness is also good to have. There is also another issue, which is that without root privs (and now dosemu drops root) it is not possible to bind to some IPX ports. But I don't know if it is important for the real world apps or not.
SPX is not working.
But I think it will work if you load ipxodi above the pdether/packet driver. What does the native IPX code provides over what you can get from the packet driver? (I simply don't know as I am not using the native IPX). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
