ipxbox is a standalone DOSBox IPX server written in Go.
Features:
-
TUN/TAP and libpcap integration that allows the server to be bridged to a real, physical network. This allows (emulated) dosbox users to play alongside users on real DOS machines (see BRIDGE-HOWTO for more information).
-
Built-in PPTP server that allows Windows 9x users to connect over the Internet using the VPN software that shipped with the operating system (demo video; see PPTP-HOWTO for more information).
-
Uplink functionality for bridging a network to a remote ipxbox server.
-
Support for the
ipxpkt.compacket driver protocol, allowing TCP/IP-over IPX; software that uses the packet driver interface can more easily be used in DOSbox (demo video). -
Sends background keepalive pings to idle DOSbox clients to prevent users behind NAT routers from being timed out.
-
Proxying to Quake servers, so that you can make UDP-based Quake servers appear as "local" IPX servers (demo video).
-
Syslog integration for audit logging when running a public server.
For some setup instructions, see the HOWTO.
