how does this differ from
options NETATALK
and
options NETIPX?

Or do you mean for the complete build, i.e netstat etc. as well?

My comment on both is that they do live as good working examples of other
"foreign" network stacks.I also know that there are quite a few old MACS
sitting around doing various pronter management functions etc.
I don't know whether they will be gone by 2007 though.
