I found accounts from people who claim to have this working, so I set
out to duplicate it.  I've come so far as to make it actually send IPX
data out on my network (watching with tcpdump from another box), but
IPXSETUP.EXE does not detect the other (real DOS) box that's waiting for
it.  I notice the IPX packets look very different.

The ones sent by DOSEMU Doom look like this:

21:10:35.690085 0.00:60:08:6b:43:19.869b > 0.ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.869b: ipx-#869b 16

While the ones from the DOS box look like this:

21:10:35.170118 0:a0:24:78:e7:7b > Broadcast sap e0 ui/C
>>> Unknown IPX Data: (46 bytes)
[000] FF FF 00 2E 00 00 00 00  00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF  ........ ........
[010] 86 9B 00 00 00 00 00 A0  24 78 E7 7B 86 9B FF FF  ........ $x.{....
[020] FF FF 00 00 00 00 01 00  02 00 00 00 00 00        ........ ......          len=46

I'm using:

$_ipxsupport = (off)
$_novell_hack = (on)
$_vnet = (off)

And loading the following in DOS:

LSL
PDETHER
IPXODI

Now, I'm not very clear on what the above do, I got LSL and IPXODI off
my 3com software on the DOS box, and PDETHER I found on Google.  Any
one, or more, of them could be broken, I suppose.

But maybe I'm just dumb; so, any suggestions?
