a) the ipx code in dosemu requires root or suid-root for some parts
   I don't know why exactly; I'm not too familiar with it, but it has to
   do something with raw sockets.
   It's like this:

   enter_priv_on();
   if (setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST,
                 &opt, sizeof(opt)) == -1) {
    leave_priv_setting();
    /* I can't think of anything else to return */
    n_printf("IPX: could not set socket option for broadcast.\n");
    return (RCODE_SOCKET_TABLE_FULL);
  }

b) just wondering why? If you have ncpfs working you could just make that
mounted directory an lredir'ed drive or not?
