Problem: can ipx packets from a terminal emulator be routed across
         the internet through tcp packets, to another remote 
	 host, such as an sco system running ipx [via i/p tunneling]?

Situation: we have 2 novell file servers in 2 different cities.
           we want to use the novell 3.12 i/p tunneling option to
           send tcp packets bewteen both servers, to establish
           connectivity. we will be using routers at each end,
	   which will connect through ethernet to the servers.
	   the routers speak only tcp. the routers will be running 
	   ppp between each other.

  	   there will also be an sco unix system running tcp and
	   ipx at one of the sites [let's say, site #1]. this unix
	   system will be connected through ethernet to the novell
	   network, and will run both tcp and ipx [as supplied by sco]

Question:  if we use the ipx 'drivers' supplied by sco, which allow the
	   use of an int14 interface by a workstaion in order to contact 
	   the sco unix system, [to use a terminal emulator, for example], 
	   can we have workstations at site #2 [the remote site] communicate
	   properly with the unix system at site #1, which supports
  	   tcp and ipx? 

	   would the ipx packets adressed to the remote unix site be properly 
	   converted to tcp packets, and then converted back to ipx packets 
	   and sent to the unix system?


           

if this made any sense, would you be able to tell me if this is feasible?
