On your Slackware box, look for: /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/IPX-HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-ipx.html The ipx kernel modules are still present in 14.1 and 14.2. You may need to double check the kernel kernel config for any options you will need to use and recompile the kernel. Looks like the ipx the userspace tools ftp site comes up as a "reported attack site" in Firefox. Weird. Ah, here ya go: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ncpfs/ http://ftp.kaiser.cz/linux/ipx/src/ ipx-1.1 compiles on my Slackware64-14.2 box, but no idea if they work ;-) You may also want to search/post on Linuxquestions.org as the Slackware sub-forum is the official Slackware support forum. Someone there may have already done the leg work (such as adding and modifying the /etc/rc.d init scripts. -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
