ncpmount cannot find server #2

ncpmount reports "Cannot find server".

Does the module implement IPX/SPX protocols? I suspect no and latest kernels (>= 4.18) got rid of these protocols.

How I can re-add the protocols back to my kernels?

Hello @phdru As support for ncpfs (and IPX) was dropped by the kernel, I asked the kernel-mailinglist for bringing it back. They told me to maintain it by myself, because they have noone for doing this. So some peers and I patched NCPFS for our uses. Because we do not need (and have no IPX-network), we do not maintain/patch IPX-kernel-modules. Maybe you try by yourself. Grab your kernelsources and try to compile the latest IPX-sources you can find and then patch the upcoming errors. Good luck.
