To get in on the discussion, join the : current@freebsd.org mailing list! Any chance that anyone is working on IPX support for FreeBSD? Since it's derived from XNS, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to put together kernel support for it. Sure would be nice for FreeBSD to have some affinity with NetWare -- file and print services, in particular. Getting IPX into the kernel would be a first step towards providing those kinds of services. Imagine FreeBSD being used instead of NT as an enterprise NetWare server! <grin> -- Carl Harris EXECUTIVE Scapegoat ceharris@mal.com
