IPX over VPN

[Brad Kemp]

Most PPTP or L2TP tunnel clients should support the transport of native IPX
frames. Especially if the are Microsoft Conntectoid based.
On the server side, the sever must be able to forward IPX frames
correctly. The ability to assign an IPX network address is a plus.

Indus River Networks and Microsoft do this correctly as well as the
vendors listed below.
