The problem is, I don't know anything about IPX in general nor IPX on
Windows or FreeBSD :-(, else I really would have tried to fix this.

(This is why I tried to describe the FreeBSD situation as far as I could
find out from an installation in my original message.)

If you could provide a prototype path, I'd be most happy to give it a
try and will also try to tweak it as good as I can, if needed.
