	Unfortunately, my server removes older news rather quickly, so I was
unable to read the parent thread. Hopefully that implies apology if my
response is not helpfull. 

	I think you should check out Kali for Dos. Those guys have been emulateing
IPX over TCP/IP for a couple of years. You should be able to find info on
getting set up there. If your server uses PAP for logging on, it will be
slightly more difficult to log-on, however(you would not be able to use a
terminal proggy).
