A previous poster said that there wasn't any IPX changes (as opposed to NCP
changes) for burst mode.

Not quite.  Burst-mode packets coming from a (burst-mode NLM) server have 
the internal network number plugged into the IPX source network number (in the IPX
header) instead of the (normal, advertised) external network number.  A server
running without the burst-mode NLM puts in the external net number.

(Makes a difference to us router types :-))
