Thanks for your reply, I see there are some NCP servers that should fit,
although not part of standard distributions.
Thanks for your help.

ram than IPX, but it's still not significant enough to cause problems
with most programs.
But back to your question: IPX isn't just a network layer, it's got
it's own completely different file sharing protocols and NCP server
software to go with it. I'd suggest plugging "linux IPX" into a
search engine. you can share out the same folder structure using both
SMB and NCP protocols, and also NFS and AFP if you like.

I would like to add my case for a wish of IPX support in Samba:
We use a number of CNC tool machines whose host is pure DOS based.
Don't be surprised that DOS is stilll running somewhere. It is fairly OK
when we get to the field of HW and real-time control, unlike Windows and the
like...
These hosts use IPX to access LAN shares. IPX is here preferable to TCP/IP
because of its lower memory consumption.
Anyone knows how to make Samba work over IPX, or is there any plan for IPX
support in Samba ?
Thanks in advance,
Maurizio Manfredini
