This should be enough to get IPXrouted running. You can also check the
routing table with "netstat -rnf ipx".

IPX networking is similar to ipv4 networking in some respects. It also
needs unique network numbers for the different "subnets" to work, so
you need to use different network numbers and not 0x0 everywhere. What
is different is that the network number is a 32 bit number and not shared
with the host part as on ipv4.

Look in the old mail archives because I did explain it (IPXIP usage) a
loooong time ago. IPXrouted should be straight forward it does have a
man page and normally does not need configuration. You just start it
and it does its thing, much like routed.
