Could somebody tell about the upcoming IPX support in the -Current 
release.  I am not up to trying it yet, but may find a use for IPX.  WHy 
is that being added.  Will it be in preperation for portable Netware (I 
think a waste of effort.)  Or, will it be a native protocol and usable 
only from one FreeBSD machine to another?

Most importantlly, will there be some kind of Gateway from IP to IPX  
(Hey, I can dream can't I!)
