Although I am working on porting the Linux LinWare (lwared) package, It's becomming more of a pain then at first thought! (And getting to be above my head) It's very buggy, And is only a file server! No print services! I do plan on continuing work on it. Anyone else is more then welcome to take it on.. :) There is IPX kernel code avaliable for 2.0 and 2.1r, I *belive* that it comes in 2.1.5.. (Not sure yet) Along with this kernel code there is a IPXrouted daemon. So progress is being made! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
