As a former Novell employee, I avoid the IPX and SPX protocols. The client code would probably be rather trivial to write if you could find a way to do it legally. The biggest hole is the ability to have multiple users on a mount (or per user mounts) withing the authentication model, and configuring the server to not require packet signatures. It is a hole I would not wish to be sucked into. You might have more feedback if you could configure a FreeBSD system as a tunnel to tunnel IPX/SPX over a TCP/IP connection to link remote networks. Do you have routing support? Unfortunately, I'm not in an environment where I can even test it any more.
