- Here is the latest version of the IPXPKT packet driver.
- Major changes since the 6.0 release:
-
- - routing support to use Novell bridges (netwide broadcasting and
- hacks to find out about IPX net addresses).
- - support for IPX node address with less than 6 significant bytes.
- (through the `-n <bytes>' command line option).
- - auxiliary program (ipxstat.c) to display route table information
- and a couple of other statistics (define STAT when compiling
- the driver to use this option)
-
- About 100 people have retrieved various versions from the archive server
- at our site. Reports have not been overwhelming, so I assume that either
- the thing is totally useless or else works without to much fuss. Assuming
- the latter, I think the current version can be included in the next release
- of the packet driver collection.
-
- I will be changing jobs shortly and won't have access to PC's running
- Novell. So, while I can still pay attention to any comments that may arise,
- I won't be able to actually test any code changes. Thus, consider this as
- my last contribution to the IPX driver.

- PS. The source code will continue to available from
- `archive-server@cs.leidenuniv.nl'.
- The version of ipxpkt is now set to 2.
