IPX isnt reliable. The Novell reliable protocol is SPX. I believe you can 
access SPX via the winsock API. The only real oddity with SPX is that it
is a sequenced packet protocol (that is it preserves boundaries) unlike TCP.

Has anyone tried raw VNC over a serial line yet (Im thinking here for
machines too stupid to run a tcp/ip stack - eg Apple IIgs)
