Would it be possible to make a dosbox ipx connector for Native MS-DOS to connect to a dosbox server through the internet? Kinda like Kali for DOS or Kahn. Would be awesome if it was possible.

Are you looking for this? https://github.com/zouppen/ipxgw

Me and jsalin have written this. It acts as a gateway between real IPX network and DOSBox clients. It tunnels IPX traffic to DOSBox IPXNET UDP packets and back. This can be run on a PC or Raspberry Pi on the edge of the real IPX network.

It has been tested with DOOM and Death Rally but should work with any IPX application. Depending on your IPX stack you may need to add “-r” command-line switch to use Novell’s raw IPX stack instead of LLC encapsulation.
