IPX-over-AppleTalk for classic Macs #10

Open fragglet opened 3 years ago

A few classic Mac games supported the IPX protocol using Novell's MacIPX addon. I think if #9 is implemented it should be possible to let old Macs dial in to an ipxbox server, at least by jumping through a couple of hoops:

So in theory if ipxbox's PPP implementation supported ATCP and could do the MacIPX encapsulation/decapsulation, it would be possible for a classic Mac to dial in to an ipxbox server and play IPX games. But #9 is a necessary prerequisite.
