Firstly, PPP will support IPX (but I'm not familiar with the status of
Linux's support for this).  As for the rest, you can share your WFWG
drives over TCP/IP (I do myself), using Microsoft's TCP/IP stack.
Games, some games do support TCP/IP, but I suspect this is the thing
that would make IPX a necessity. :-)

However, I believe Linux support for IPX is quite good these days (I've
never had to play with it myself).
