Ok, these are the programs that implement networks stacks under DOS.
LSL is the Link Support Layer. You load this first. It's the most
fundamental part.
Next comes the card driver. Traditionally, this can be a driver for a
physical card (like ne2000.exe or 3c509.exe). But it can also be a
clever program that actually outputs it's packets to some other driver.
Finally, IPXODI is the IPX protocol program. This manages the
higher-level protocol tranfers for NETX (or whatever IPX program you're
running).

Novell is one popular source for programs that do these jobs. As for
where they're found... www.novell.com, but I don't remember what
versions you want or where to look.
