Unless you go TCP on the WFWG boxes, which is ruled out by the address assignment restrictions, I think the WFWG<-->TCP gateway transactions will be IPX by definition. Anyone ever used AT&T's TAP (TCP Access Program) for LanMan networks running their NetBIOS/OSI stack? This is what is needed, except it wants to front end as if it were plain vanilla WinSock. I did some code for this for the NetWare for UNIX product at Novell as a personal project, but it was never picked up (it competed with the former Excellan's similar product).
