I've been trying to get Boris Popov's NCPLIB working, and have run
into a somewhat wierd snag.  It seems that the Novell people at my
site (apparently at the advice of Novell) have decreed that all 
IPX shall be encapsulated in Frame type 802.3.  As near as I can
tell (tcpdump, ethereal, etc.) PreeBSD generates everything in 
Ethernet II frames.  Thus, the Novell servers can't see me at all.
IP functionality is all there, this just affects IPX.  I've been
trying to dig through the code, but can't find where the frame type
is specified.  Is there someone out there with a clue they could
send my way?  Thanks!
