I have changed ifconfig and netstat to understand IPX and build IPXrouted with IPX RIP and SAP support. I didn't do SPX because we did not need it and I only changed the ed ethernet driver because we use SMC cards. It only works for Ethernet II and not the 802.3 ethernet protocol that Novell used as a default for a long time. There is minimal changes to the kernel. There is about 3 files (device drivers excluded) and sys/netipx that is new. If you want it, I will clean it up a bit and put it somewhere for ftp. We would actualy like to get the code into FreeBSD, if it is wanted. Core team???? John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@csir.co.za
