+ tristate "The IPX protocol"
+ select LLC
+ ---help---
+ This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly
+ used for local networks of Windows machines. You need it if you
+ want to access Novell NetWare file or print servers using the Linux
+ Novell client ncpfs (available from
+ ) or from
+ within the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO,
+ available from ). In order
+ to do the former, you'll also have to say Y to "NCP file system
+ support", below.
+
+ IPX is similar in scope to IP, while SPX, which runs on top of IPX,
+ is similar to TCP. There is also experimental support for SPX in
+ Linux (see "SPX networking", below).
+
+ To turn your Linux box into a fully featured NetWare file server and
+ IPX router, say Y here and fetch either lwared from
+ or
+ mars_nwe from . For more
+ information, read the IPX-HOWTO available from
+ .
+
+ General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
+ Macs is on the WWW at .
+
+ The IPX driver would enlarge your kernel by about 16 KB. To compile
+ this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipx.
+ Unless you want to integrate your Linux box with a local Novell
+ network, say N.
