Novell has been recommending IP for AGES....

IPX is mostly dead and only seen in old applications.

A separate project implementing IPX over IP on Windows, that is also
tested to work under Wine might be the best solution... (Wine would
probably need to implement proper DLL load orders if wsock32 is
replaced and calling the normal version thereof...

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14980 all seem related...))
