I don't know if FreeBSD PPP supports IPX or not. I'm guessing no, since the University's Cisco terminal servers support it and I get protocol rejections trying to connect. I assume it's rejecting IPXCP and AppleTalk. > I have no experience whatsoever using IPX, and for what I've heard, > IPX is not ever routable. It's routable, but it sucks to route since it doesn't have a strict idea of concepts like subnets. Your bigger problem is that the dialup link does not support IPX.
