What Is MaIPX and How To Obtain It

MacIPX is a control panel that lets a Macintosh computer use Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) services, a Novell defined protocol. MacIPX is not an Apple product, a is commonly thought. It is a Novell product.

If a user needs support or upgrade information for MacIPX, they need to contact the vendor from whom they received MacIPX. For example, Claris has licensed MacIPX from Novell for use with some of its FileMaker database products; because Claris ships MacIPX then a user should contact Claris for MacIPX support related to FileMaker.

Another example might be if a user gets MacIPX from Novell as part of NetWare files services, then they could contact Novell for support. [Contributed by Greg Rhein.]The Famous Apple!
