Do anyone know where information can be obtained on Novell's Undocumented calls into IPX. I have being looking for Info. from Novell but the don't seem to want to reveal anything. I have documentation for all the Standard IPX / SPX call Function 00 to 0Bh, and 10 to 17h, But NETx uses Function 0E and 0Fh. Funtion 0Fh Post an ECB to the Fileserver and the waits for a reply. Does anyone know what the Parameters the function used ? Is there a CRITICAL Section Flag in IPX to pervent Interrupt driven programs re-entering IPX ? I am working on a routine which rx data on interrupt from a remote pc and pass it on to IPX. It work OK if only One PC is using IPX, But collision HANG the PC with the CARD. Any Ideas ? Tkanks in advance. Best Regards: Mario Barzil ( CompuServ : 100015,1401 ) College of Technology, Kevin Street,Dublin 8.

IPX uses critical sections to control reentrancy *within* IPX, but this state is only available to the LAN driver at times when it is being called by IPX. It does not prevent ECB's from being submitted to IPX. > I am working on a routine which receives data on interrupt from a > remote pc and passes it on to IPX.

If an event is being serviced by an ESR and another event arrives, the new event must be queued internally by that ESR.
