I don't have access to anything that runs IPX or talks IPXCP :-( Currently, the tun device only does IP. It would be fairly easy to fix this, but in order to stay compatible, I'd like to add a new IOCTL to put it into ``give me headers'' mode. I've mentioned this a few times on -hackers, but nobody's taken the bait (even Julian E side-stepped it ;). As I say though, the real problem is that I don't have anything that does IPX. I've got one NT box here, and I've got a 2.5" disk with Win95 on it gathering dust, so I guess I could eventually get it up & running..... It's more likely that pppd supports IPX - I've heard talk that it does IPXCP, so assuming the FreeBSD kernel will do IPX through the ppp device.... > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
