DESCRIPTION
       ipx_interface  adds,  deletes,  or displays IPX interfaces
       depending on the option selected.

       An IPX interface is the item  to  which  IPX  sockets  are
       bound.   An  IPX  interface  corresponds to an IPX Network
       Number which corresponds to a physical  device  and  frame
       type.  A sample IPX Interface would be:

       Network Number: 0x00ABCDEF

       Device: Eth0

       Frame Type: 802.2.

       There  is  a  special  IPX interface per host known as the
       PRIMARY or default interface.

   OPTIONS
       add    This option is used to create an IPX interface.  If
              the -p flag is used, the interface is made PRIMARY.
              The network number can be optionally assigned.   If
              it  is not assigned, it is set to 0 which indicates
              it should be detected from the traffic on the  net-
              work.

       del    This option is used to delete an IPX interface.

       delall This option is used to delete all IPX interfaces.

       check  This  option  is  used to display the device, frame
              type, and network number of an IPX interface.

       help   This option displays information about the utility.
