The HOWTO refers to older versions of DOSEMU, which is not applicable to
new versions. So you have to use $_novell_hack = (on) type syntax. But I
guess packet hack option is ignored in the latest versions.
I havn't faced the error you mention. Have you put off ipx support
(ipx_support = (off)) in dosemu.conf ?
As for pdether, search for pdether.zip in google.com. That's how I got it.
