This is perhaps obvious in retrospect, but it is a bad idea to run routed between two machines with different subnet masks. Boy do they get confused. Sorry about all those UMDNET packets that sprayed out into the MILNET (though that may have been due to an unrelated mistake). (We just turned on subnets, and I did it in phases. That was a mistake. Do it all at once!) Other than that, hey!, it works very well indeed. You will need to use `route -n add <subnet> <gateway> <metric>' (note the `-n') if your subnet gateways do not run routed. I am not sure what happens if they do: ours are not under my control (for which many are no doubt grateful :-) ). Chris
