For this you have to configure IPX under linux and turn $_ipxsupport on. This seem to be possible. You have to disable dosnet in that case, I think. And if you turn IPX on, you don't need pdipx any more. If you have $_ipxsupport disabled, you can't use IPX tools. > requires a constant IPX connection (through a watchdog TSR).

Dosemu's internal IPX support seems to be independant from dosemu's packet driver because it utilises linux kernel IPX functionality. So I don't think you have tracked your problem correctly. > I would also > appreciate some idea as to the progress of the Dosemu programming > effort. No (active) developers. If you need some functionality, you have to contribute yourself:( IPX is out of maintenance since 1997. > It appears to be somewhat stalled, from what I can tell. I agree.

Dosemu have large enough user base (just see the sourceforge stats to get a clue of how large is it), but no developers to support. Hence the lack of the interraction and progress. I really think that the users have to contribute a little more in development process if they want to have a fully functional product. PS: Everything I told about IPX is based only on a single look at an IPX code I made yesterday to find out why doom's ipxsetup crashes. So my info may be incorrect. I have never used this functionality myself. And even a single look to that code was enough to find some bugs in it:( - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
