Is there then any chance you will update the code to use IP for LAN gaming instead of IPX. As you probably know this game is still played on LAN parties and Microsoft stopped supporting IPX.
No updates are going to be made. This was a licensed product, we no longer have the license and it's been out of print for quite some time. We don't have the ability (make files, development environment, source, all the assets) to update the game anymore.
You might look into something like this:

I'm not sure if Kali supports BM95, but that might be another option.
