  Are there any docs on IPX available somewhere?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
IPX is extremely similar to Xerox Network Services (XNS). Novell appears
to have extended XNS and renamed it to IPX. (The previous statement
may be a gross over simplification to some.)

The code available in the netns directory was used as the basis for
netipx. I used various materials which describe the IPX DOS client
interface to glean information about IPX. Also, I have uploaded a file
SPX.DOC to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming which is a Novell
description of SPX.
