I would like to add my wish for IPX as a supported protocol for Samba. My case is: We use a number of CNC tool machines whose host is pure DOS based. Don't be surprised that DOS is still running somewhere, it works fine for real-time systems, unlike all of the Windows stuff. In order for these hosts to access LAN shared drives, IPX is preferable to TCP/IP because of its lower memory consumption. Is there any plan for Samba over IPX ? Thanks in advance, Maurizio Manfredini
