RIP & SAP sockets are handled specially because of Netware internal router
complains (and it have good reason to complaint) if it receives IPX frame
with source or destination network different from wire's one.
And for RIP/SAP sockets if you send frame to existing network, source
address will be set to outgoing interface address regardless of your bind
address. Sending these (RIP/SAP) frames to default network is just
nonsense, except when you are doing network number detection.

Yes. And send these frames with SO_DONTROUTE (after some changes in ipx code)
to be on safe side...
