I can definitely vouch for that!

Couldn't say about your version of Trumpet, but we've been able to run the last
version of Trumpet which didn't shutdown after 30 days with IPX for quite a
while.  (I don't remember what number it was, and I can't check, as we finally
did rouse enough interest out of the Trumpet folks to let us pay for a site
license on the latest version).  The stack ends up looking something like this:

                   trumpet winsock
         netx      winpkt
         ipxodi    odipkt
             ne2000.com   <-  or whatever ODI card driver matches your card
             lsl.com      <-  The link support layer
             Network Card

Right.  And be prepared to try lots of options--and very likely spend a lot of
time.  Network problems can be very fluky.
