Here at the univerity, there are two different ethernet networks connected by a slip connection. In there interest of making communication between the networks, I tried running routed. What I thought routed would do was: the host with the slip connection would tell all of the other machines on the ethernet that it had a connection to the other machine/network and it could be used as a gateway. What I ended up doing was creating an /etc/gateways file on every machine, specifying the slip machine as a gateway. This turns out to be a royal pain. In the near future, we will have pc's with slip connections, and will have to put every single one in the gateway files, unless of course, I'm wrong about something. Is there any way to get routed (or something else) to do what I want? -- Jeff Sparkes uunet!garfield!jeff1 Television deals in volume, not quality. jeff1@garfield.mun.edu Look at your TV.
