Hello All!
I wonder if you can help me set up a (very complicated!) dialup?
 LM> ipx internal net 1
My university provides dialup Internet access to students. Each Uni 
department has its own Netware server (they are now upgrading to 4.1), which 
is obviously difficult to access over a simple TCP/IP link.
I have since found out that the annex dialup also supports IPX (over PPP, not 
SLIP!). My question is - if I were to dial up (using my Linux box) enabling 
IPX as well as IP, what would I need to do?
My current setup is: Netware server and Linux server on Ethernet with local 
workstations. Linux server currently connects to dialup and provides IP 
masquerading to allow workstations to "surf".
Problems I forsee:
My Novell internal net number is currently 1. Is this really internal, or 
would I need to change it to something unique so it does not clash with 
anything at Uni?
From reading various HOWTOs, it looks like I will need to run ripd (ipxripd?) 
on my Linux box. I have ncpfs and the 2.0.9 kernels, but I've not been able 
to find any such daemon - where can I get it from?!
I am currently using DIP to dial up (with SLIP), and I will obviously need to 
switch to pppd to use PPP. The problem is, the Linux machine is also used for 
dial-in access, and so I can't include things like "defaultroute" in the 
ppp/options file, or dialup users would find themselves being a default 
route! Can I include these options on the pppd commandline?
