GRE has been recommended several times in previous posts found via google to tunnel IPX, but I can not seem to make the connection

I do not see why this should not be doable. As far as I know you can run
GRE and IPX and IP tunnels over IPSEC. Setup IPSEC, then tunnel IPX
across the IPSEC/VPN connection.
The standard IP tools, should be able to create such tunnels no problem.
I have only ever set up GRE and IP tunnels (Not IPX) but don't see the
roadbloack to IPX.

Th choice for IPX instead of TCP/IP is actually not mine. It is an existing Novel networ, with a current 50-60 clients that are all configured for IPX networking. We "may" be able to change it over, but not until next spring, when things slow down for them (by then it is to late for this project).
IPSEC will only allow IP format over it. That is the problem. I need to create a conversion from IPX to ip and then back at each end to allow it to go over the IPSEC vpn (This is what I have gathered from postings that I found via goolge on the net, but been unable to re-create the conversion layer to work...yet..)

I am not an expert on the subject by any stretch of the matter, but I am
curious as to your choice of using IPX instead of TCP? I would assume that
IPSEC will work with IPX, but never heard of anything like that, so can't
really offer a hand on it. Would be interested in any insight you have into
the choice you made.

Subject: (clug-talk) tunneling Novel IPX over ipsec vpn
I am looking for some assistance in setting up an IPX tunnel over an
ipsec vpn (I am trying to do this for a local non-profit organization,
but not having much success at this time)
The ipsec vpn is working, and I have downloaded and installed gre and
ipxripd .
Both firewalls are running Mandrake 2.4 kernals
