Change of author:
|
|
Many thanks to Terry Dawson for passing on this document and
|
|
congratulations on becoming a father :-).
|
|
|
|
Additions:
|
|
Addition of a brief explanation of IPX. This is in response to
|
|
many baffled queries on the discussion lists.
|
|
|
|
Corrections/Updates:
|
|
New version of ncpfs which now supports NDS logins. This is early
|
|
beta test and may be prohibited in your country due to the use of
|
|
patented technology.
|
|
|
|
Addition of support for trustee rights in mars_nwe. This is still
|
|
in beta test.

|
|
|
<P>The Linux Kernel has a completely new network implementation as compared
|
|
to other Unix like operating systems. The ability to take a fresh approach
|
|
to developing the kernel networking software has led to the Linux kernel
|
|
having support for a range of non tcp/ip protocols being built. The IPX
|
|
protocol is one of those that have been included.
|
|
<P>The Linux kernel supports the IPX protocol only. It does not yet support
|
|
protocols such as IPX/RIP, SAP or NCP, these are supported by other software
|
|
such as that documented elsewhere in this document.
|
|
<P>The IPX support was originally developed by Alan Cox
|
|
<CODE><alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk></CODE> and has been significantly enhanced by
|
|
Greg Page <CODE><greg@caldera.com></CODE>.
