about the only way to do that (I assume you mean how can you make you
linux box a CLIENT), is to install dosemu, compile ipx support into your
kernel and turn on IPX_SUPPORT in the dosemu.conf. After that you have
to compile the ipx_interface program (in the ipxutils dir of the source
of dosemu) and then run ipx_interface add eth0 802.2 then load up dosemu
and run NETX at the dos prompt like normal to connect.... you dont have
to load the odi drivers .. the ipx support in dosemu emulates both the
card odi and ipxodi.....I have never tried it with 3.12, but it works
great with 4.1.. This of course is a crash course on doing it, but its
not that hard at all..
