- A previous poster said that there wasn't any IPX changes (as opposed to NCP
- changes) for burst mode.
-
- Not quite. Burst-mode packets coming from a (burst-mode NLM) server have
- the internal network number plugged into the IPX source network number (in the IPX
- header) instead of the (normal, advertised) external network number. A server
- running without the burst-mode NLM puts in the external net number.

- (Makes a difference to us router types :-))
