Considering that even Novell have abandoned IPX/SPX for TCP/IP and MS no longer
see Netware as a competitor your customers would be well advised to consider
removing the IPX protocol from the equation entirely, imo. Netware has always
supported tcp/ip (at least as far back 3.11) so it is nigh on certain that your
customers will be able to use it. With one common protocol they might even see a
performance improvement.
