IPX support in Starcraft - Why can't I get it working?

Sorry - this might be a re-post:

Let's think about this for a second:
Starcraft makes some kind of API call to do its IPX stuff, right ? Well, 
normally, under Windows, the DLL that implements those API calls 
probably relies on some registry entries.  However, in this case we're 
not dealing with Windows DLLs (unless you've specified 
"native,builtin").  So, what actually happens is that Wine resolves 
these IPX-related functions in its own, non-registry way.  How do I 
know?  I have Starcraft running with IPX and without any kind of Windows 
installation.

I recommend running wine-20010510 instead of the latest.  That's the 
version I have running on one computer, IPX and all.
