ipx_cmd  -  bridge  between Novell's SCMD driver and local
       IPX network


SYNOPSIS

       ipx_cmd -A server name [ -l local interface name ]


DESCRIPTION

       ipx_cmd moves packets from tapN to server and vice  versa.
       It  is  something like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Net­
       ware 5 server Compatibility  Mode  Driver  (AKA  Migration
       Agent)  on the other end of wire. You must first configure
       your kernel tapN device with IPX EthernetII frame and with
       network  number  set  up  on  server  (you  can use kernel
       autodetection).


OPTIONS

       -A server name
              This is IP name of compatibility mode  server.  You
              can  use  DNS name or dotted quad to specify server
              address.

       -l local interface name
              This allows  you  to  specify,  which  of  your  IP
              addresses  should  be  used as IP address of client
              side of CMD driver. You must  configure  your  tapN
              device  with  hardware  address  7E:01:AA:BB:CC:DD,
              where AA:BB:CC:DD is your IP address in hexa.


EXAMPLE

       If you are on server platan.vc.cvut.cz (147.32.240.81) and
       your  migration agent runs on server boris.vc.cvut.cz, you
       can configure your system with:

          insmod ethertap
          ifconfig tap0 hw ether 7E:01:93:20:F0:51 up
          ipx_interface add -p tap0 EtherII
          ipx_cmd -A boris.vc.cvut.cz -l 147.32.240.81 &


BUGS

       This program was written  to  satisfy  my  own  needs  and
       should  be  really improved.  At least it should configure
       tap interface itself.
