You probably want to use UDP or (better yet) IP... As for your situation, we have the opposite problem here are McGill. An IP backbone, with scatterings of netware PCs that need to reach IP hosts. So, we encapsulate our IP in IPX and send it over our LAN to the gateway... In your case, the solution would be the same, only backwards. You would still need a dedicated PC running KA9Q (which we used) or the Tom Anderson PC/IP (has anyone used it)? In any case, it calls for a homebrew solution (the Best Kind). -Philip
