Re: LINUX and IPX

Would you instead consider getting DAVE for the MAC which will be able to talk via CIFS (or NT Share) and simply load IPX on a Windows NT, export the drive to the Windows NT, and Let the MAC look at a Share of the drive... it might be lot cheaper and less work than what you are thinking.  DAVE isn't cheap (single copy $150) but it might be a lot less painful than what you've put down here...

P.S. I have a MAC and am evaluating DAVE (I did a while ago as well).  It works - the only reason I haven't bought it is because it would be my dough.  DAVE is by Thursby Software.

I would like to network a LINUX box to talk to both PCs on a very old
Netware 3.12 network using the IPX protocol, and a MAC using the TCP/IP
protocol. I have a few questions.

1. Does LINUX support the IPX protocol, and if so what do I need to do to
enable a LINUX machine to use the IPX protocol?
2. Can I run both protocols on the same network interface, or should I use
two different Ethernet cards and keep every thing separate?

My goal is to have shared disk space on a LINUX PC that is common to both
the PCs using IPX and a MAC that does not support IPX but can use TCP/IP.
Currently this mess has about 10 PCs and 1 MAC. I see little future growth.
I just want to transfer files between the PCs and MAC.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Dave
