- LIPX.NLM was included in MPR v1.0, but it will not be in MPR v2.0
- which is due to hit the streets sometime this month. I'm not sure
- where you'll get it after that.

- Personally, i recommend forgetting about LIPX and just using Packet
- Burst. For most applications, Packet Burst is a better way to improve
- NetWare performance over IPX internets. I believe you can purchase
- Packet Burst through normal channels for a small fee. (It, too, was
- including in MPR v1.0 but won't be in v2.0.)
