- As it says in "NetWare 3.11 TCP/IP Transport Supervisor's Guide":
-
- "NetWare 3.11 IP tunnel will also serve clients using either Novell's
- IP tunnel client driver, a component of the LAN WorkPlace for DOS,
- or the Schneider & Koch DOS end-node product."
-
- The LWP version has an executable called IPTUNNEL which you load on top
- of TCPIP.EXE. The above book has details of NET.CFG: in this context
- IPTUNNEL is a "Link Driver".
-
- Seems to me that it would be totally trivial to write an IP tunnel IPX
- driver on top of any popular TCP/IP stack or even (since IP tunneling
- only uses UDP, which is simple) on top of packet drivers, without having
- to pay lots of money for LWP.
