You could look at the possiblity of using kali, www.kali.net, though kali
is designed to tunnel ipx to ip for gaming purposes, i don't know how well
it would work as a ipx tunnel, i suspect not very well.

I assume this is because the routers here don't route ipx. In which
case you could create a tunnel between two linux boxes using 
ssh, pppd, and tunnel ipx that way, but i fear it's going to end
up being a terrible hack.

I seem to want to say that pptp is available with 98, so see if the
upgrade is an option.

Good luck
