    The first problem is that you won't be able to connect to it via IPX/SPX
    over the internet.  If you're on the local wire, that is a different
    story, however.
    
    For IPX/SPX attack info, check out Nimrod Mobile Research Centre
    (www.nmrc.org), and I can attest that you'll find the protocol is far
    less secure.  That said, you'll also find that it's remarkably different
    from TCP/IP in many ways.  Some of the good news includes that it's
    fantastically simple (technically speaking; the sequence numbers are
    limited and even usually sequential) to hijack connections, and some of
    the bad news is that it's so different from TCP/IP that you may not find
    it easy to exploit.
