FYI, I examined the source and "interface bound to net 0" turned out to be a fatal error message before exit! Kind of cryptic there, guy. What it was *really* saying was that the primary interface was set up on network 0, which is wrong.
Looking at the startup files led to me /etc/ipx.conf (which is not actually documented anywhere that I can find). I changed the network number to the correct one, and (more importantly) the frame type on the primary interface to match what everyone else on the network is using (we have an *old* one running 802.3). ifconfig was actually telling me about the frame type, most likely, but sometimes 802.2 looks like 802.3, you know? :-b Anyway, ipxd now runs. I still am not seeing the routing I would expect, but I can work on that...
