Subject: OS/2-NetWare Users List: IP vs IPX (was: Re: Netware IP)

Actually, I don't think our opinions differ. I was merely pointing up 
one example where Novell has advised using IPX as a preferred protocol 
over IP. Having attended several of Laura Chappel's sessions, she has 
talked often about the increased security of running only IPX on the 
server (and, indeed, under versions of NetWare prior to 5.0 this was 
much easier to accomplish).

Several years ago, the thought of running multiple protocol stacks on 
one board (though supported by NetWare for quite some time) was thought 
to be a fool's endeavor. Luckily, hardware (and networking bandwidth!) 
has made that mode of thinkiing somewhat dated. :-)
