[Solved] ipx/ncpfs support in arch?

Hi.

New to arch (but not to Linux).
I am contemplating setting up a new server @work with Arch linux. For this a support of connectivity to a Novell server is mandantory.

Questions: Is the ipx protocol and ncpfs support in the core part of Arch or is it in another repo? Is the standard kernel configured for ipx/ncpfs support? If not, I assume it's easy to make my own kernel, isn't it?

Edit:
After getting acquainted with the arch ways and AUR I found ncpfs/ipx in AUR. Unmaintained but available anyway.  Didn't try it yet, but I assume that the stock kernel supports ncpfs.

Cheers & TIA,
Britzel
