I'm receive enough IPX related questions, and never got any about XNS. netns stack was used by NetCon package which implemented TFS filesystem for NetWare connectivity. Guess, which protocol they used to communicate with servers ? Right, it was IPX. So, if netns were still supported it became just a parallel implementation of netipx. Last version of FreeBSD supported by NetCon was 2.2.X. Lack of support for FreeBSD 3.X encouraged me to write nwfs because it was necessary for my daily tasks. BTW, NetCon still offers their product for FreeBSD 2.2: http://www.netcon.com/download/download.htm -- Boris Popov http://rbp.euro.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
