In linux.kernel you write:

Deleting an IPX interface still fails with 1.99.13. I run IPX over ppp, and when pppd shuts down it attempts to delete the IPX interface that was created. This fails:

Unfortunately, it also fails on the remote end (also running 1.99.13). The failure causes future attempts to use an IPX interface over the ppp link to fail entirely, unless the the IPX address is changed.
