I've been reading the IPX/SPX incoming "conversations".
Something to keep as a background thought:
I've been running packet passing in "real" MSDOS for over
a decade with virtually no problems. Any that do occur have been
tracked to other end - so far.
Also - all attempts to run non-packet passing interfaces
in "real" MSDOS have lead to numerous and continuous problems.
MSDOS is interrupt driven. Thus - less interrupts in the
chain the less chance MSDOS has to trip over itself.
I know this does not help directly in solving anything but it does
lend support to why Stas Sergeev makes the comment:

... (using IPX via the packet driver is
now faster than via native IPX support), ...

to Reinhard Karcher.
Kind-of a case where Linux and MSDOS prefer packet passing, and
working with, rather than against, gets better results.
So much for my 2 cents worth.
