1. Ipx/sx
I'm developing a real-time strategy game, and I hope I can include
playing over a ipx/sx network. Does anyone know how to handle this

Why not TCP/IP?... Then you could play along the Internet...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use sockets over *both* IPX/SPX &
TCP/IP? So I guess the thing to do would be to write a wrapper for
winsock.dll. Although, sockets might be implemented differently in each
protocol...
Jesus, aren't you working on one?
As for TCP/IP, you could play over the internet, a LAN, dialup... just as
long as everyone's running the protocol & has their own IP address. That
would be your better bet :)

Yes, Greg Harris and myself. It's almost ready now; It does implement most
of berkeley sockets, and some of the Winsock.
I'm currently trying a wrapper for Euphoria for DOS. It's based on packet
drivers and the DOSPPPD stack (freeware).
I stopped the enhancements of the Winsock wrapper to try to unify both them
in a single package. (I'm afraid that is not easy, so I'll end up with two
wrappers, one for DOS and the current Winsock).
I don't know about ipx/spx (being a proprietary protocol from Novell, is a
little out of my interest).
Regards.
Jesus.
