Hi, i'm in charge of a windows to linux migration.
For this there is an old program in DOS that have to work.
This program use a old btrieve database and have to be accessed through a requester.
There is 2 versions for DOS, one with TCP that requiere a TCP stack (a total mess and impossible with DosBOX) and another with IPX/SPX.
When i try to execute, the initialisation is OK but i get a error saying : SPX is not supported on this workstation.
Of course i set the IPX support to true.
I play with the ipxnet tools, i'm able to start a server but not to connect. I'm using dosbox 0.65 under a Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper.
I also try qemu, and dosemu (same problem), but i'm not lucky with those tools too.
What can i do? have i to set something in linux to support the spx network? How does the ipx/spx calls work?
Thanks.
