Every DOSEMU session has to connect to a Novell (IPX based) server. I used 'direct networking' on the old version and it worked well, so I'd like to keep using it.

When users login (via telnet over a SSH tunnel) DOS is automatically started for them, they're automatically logged into Novell server and their application start automatically.
