I got the CAP and KIP code from Rutgers the other day. I need to install them on my Sun Sparc station. I can't use the Etalk stuff (IP router), so I go to make KIP. It seems that some of the code is Sun 3 assembler, which won't compile on the Sparc. Is there KIP (or some equivalent) available on the net for the Sparc station, or am I doing something wrong with the Rutgers KIP sources? Thanks, pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)

The KIP code is really only intended to be run on the Kinetics FastPath 2/3 (KFPS2/KFPS3). If you have a KFPS-4, then Kinetics ships K*, which supports IPTalk (Appletalk-in-UDP). The Gatorbox and the Webster Multigate also support IPTalk. In any of those appletalk routers, it is a matter of configuration, so the KIP code is not necessary for those routers. If you have a KFPS-2, then you will want to run the KIP code, which you need to build. The KIP code is built for the KFPS-2 using either SUMACC (a 68000 cross assembler for unix) or if you are on a 68xxx based Sun, you can use gcc as documented on the Rutgers KIP distribution. If you want to use EtherTalk, see the messages posted by Charles Hedrick recently to this group. He has some detailed information that should help explain what all these distributions are about.

KIP is the code that runs on the Kinetics router. The Kinetics products use various models of 680x0 processor. Hence the assembly you saw wasn't really Sun 3 assembly so much as 68000 assembly. If you give me a Kinetics box with a Sparc processor in it, I'll look into producing a Sun 4 equivalent... The CAP code is what you want. It's the part that runs on your Unix machine. It will work on the Sun 4. There's no assembly code in it.
