Past few weeks have gotten us some SLIP from host remote on net REMOTE with host local on net LOCAL. remotes neighbors can not talk to remote on REMOTE net and only remote and local talk reliably .. we get ripquery back and forth but what this problem seems to most need now is a better hybrid of hard routes like the route add REMOTE remote 1 and so on. I have some of these but fear they are wrong .. remote is an MV-II running BSD/Tahoe and local is a Sun 4/20 (SLC) on SunOS 4.1.1. Link is essentially a mildly hacked cslipbeta. Best success is when routed on the remote-BSD end first starts and holds 6 values in netstat -nr, which notably holds a line REMOTE-net (either remote or local, I forget) ... WHICH does succeed for a few minutes, I know, rpc perfmeter (rpc.status packets) makes it across the link from remote to local, even other in.routed players on local-net can ping ( briefly ) the remote-host. Path is over two Telebits running PEP. There have been occasional deaths of local-host with slipen() messages hanging on syslog. There is currently a do-loop running on remote to kill and restart its routed -s whenever less than 6 routes are produced by its netstat -nr. When I am able to log off remote and the circuit stays up, then the routes may be lost less often ( had no restarts, dropping routes messages on remote for over 8 hours ). A collection of your slipattach lines, route add lines that connects two different nets by slip using routed would be greatly appreciated. My guesses probably have been why I am messed up still. WE WILL NOT be trying PPP this year and SLIP over existing phones and hardware are our only choices, for now. PLEASE, save the SLIP is dead, etc for alt.flames. Once this works we hope to get packets from REMOTE-net via local, over LOCAL-net and out thru an ACC 4100. It only reports net 26 and net LOCAL to ripquery. It has rip on and rip neighbor entry local-host, and gateway mode on.

Perhaps you should look into gated, which is supposed to handle point to point links better than routed. -John Kalucki johnk@gordian.com

Does anyone know where a version of gated that has been ported to SysV386 can be found? I checked the stuff on uunet, and it seems to be BSD-only (at least, I'm missing a bunch of header files and libraries that it looks for). Something that would work under ISC 1.0.6 (no, I can't upgrade) would be perfect (and probably usable under the 2.x systems, too). -- Gary Heston System Mismanager and technoflunky uunet!sci34hub!gary or My opinions, not theirs.
