The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting
multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.  PPP defines an
extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network
Control Protocols for establishing and configuring different
network-layer protocols.  The IPX protocol was originally used in
Novell's NetWare products, and is now supported by numerous other
vendors.  This document defines the Network Control Protocol for
establishing and configuring the IPX protocol over PPP.  This memo is
the product of the Point-to-Point Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
