As I understand it, one must do alot of initiations before using IPX:

Initiate the driver.
Open a socket.
Set up an ECB.
Set up an IPX-header.
aso.

Can anyone tell me how to or where to find information about this?
I want somthing that is very detailed and have all specifications of
this.
(Preferably for JonIPX but I'm glad for any help, maybe there is a rfc
for IPX?(or am I way out there?)...)

I looked at:
http://descent2.com/ddn/ipx/index.html
and tried to follow this "tutorial" (using JonIPX instead of DOSIPX as
on that page) but I didn't manage to send anything.
The code compiled fine but there was some errors in sending the
packets(Physical error and Malformed packet) so I guess I didn't manage
to initiate the ECB correctly...
I belive it was some thing with the FragmentDesriptor(see Table 1 on the

url described above).
As I understand it FragmentDescriptor[0] points to the IPX header but
where is the rest of the array pointing?


Thanx for anything that can help me!
