I'm looking to bridge an IPX network at a remote location to the local IPX network, and the only method of communication is TCP/IP. Locally, I have a FreeBSD server, and I intend to use one at the remote location too. Looking in LINT, I see: options IPX #IPX/SPX communications protocols options IPXIP #IPX in IP encapsulation (not available) options IPTUNNEL #IP in IPX encapsulation (not available) Which implies that that's out of the picture. However, looking in usr/src/sys/netipx/ I see ipx_tun.c for encapsulating IP in IPX which is empty and marked "not implemented", while ipx_ip.c for encapsulating IPX in IP seems to be fairly complete and nothing other than LINT saying it's not done. (this given that I am not even remotely familiar with the kernel or with IPX, so I'm probably way off here) Does anyone know about the status of this, or another method to do IPX through IP -- tun interfaces and generic tunnelling or anything? I can't seem to find enough info about this. Thanks in advance. Mike B. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
