Should nwfs and ncp* be working in 5.3R?

[Bob Johnson]

I'm trying to use nwfs and the ncp- utilities and when I do I get a 
kernel panic (at the moment I forget which one).  Should they be working 
in 5.3R?

Results don't change if I move IPX to other frame types, or to all four 
of them simultaneously, and similarly it doesn't seem to matter whether 
I have ipxrouted running or not, nor does it matter whether I boot the 
GENERIC kernel or my normal kernel.


Thanks,
