    One of the best places to read about is in the manual
    "Netware System Interface Technical Overview" which I
    got with the Novell C Interface Library.  Contact
    Novell Development Products Division at 1-800-RED-WORD
    for more information.  You can buy this library mail
    order from various sources (Programmers Paradise,
    Programmer's Shop, etc)... check your magazines.

Volume 2 of Novell's API Reference describes programming levels
of the protocols as well as the formats of the packets.  It also
references the document.
      "Internet Transport Protocols"
       Xerox Corporation
       Xerox System Integration Standard
       Stamford Conn.

       XSIS-018112
I would imaging that just about any info on XNS would give you a lot
of insite into IPX/SPX.
