used tunctil). You have probably brought it
up with ifconfig?looks as if persistent tap devices were already present. I simply used ifconfig tap0 up.
Yes, that's what I had in mind. The persistent tap devices were *not* present and that's why you had to use ifconfig to bring them up. Dosemu can either create a new TAP device in a "down" state (your case) or bind to a persistent TAP device that may be already "up" (or may not).
Also it is not clear how haveI have patched the ipxbridge makefile to bridge between eth0 and tap0.
you connected the TAP interface with an outside
world.
The general strategy is to use the brctl for that. Are there any reasons to use the patched ipxbridge instead? I am also wondering if it is possible to establish some routing. I think with help of the ipx_route and ipx_interface utilities it is possible to avoid the bridging entirely. Can this please be verified? Asking this all I am only thinking about fulfilling the gaps in your previous description, because dealing with TAPs is the only untrivial thing there and you forgot to describe it.
