Picture this configuration: We are trying to run one Fastpath 4, K-Star 7.0, as our main gateway. It translates between LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and UDP-Talk just fine. (It uses the atalkatab data from one of the Unix hosts.) Our old Fastpath-2s are running ETalk-gw.srec to translate between LocalTalk and EtherTalk, obviously without consulting any atalkad. This works fine, everything works, EXCEPT: Suppose I am on LocalTalk behind the FP-4 and use MacTCP. It finds the gateway. (This is very astonishing because there isn't any IPGATEWAY to be found in MacTCP. I had to patch K-Star 7.0 to register itself as IPGATEWAY instead of IPADDRESS because otherwise our other stuff had stopped working.) Suppose instead that I am on LocalTalk behind the old FP-2. InterPoll sees the FP-4. However, regardless of which zone I select in MacTCP's Control SubPanel, Telnet (2.3 MacTCP) doesn't start up properly (instead it just terminates silently). And please don't tell me about setting Option 7 in the FP-4; it _is_ set.

I haven't been able to get it work either, but using NCSA Telnet 2.3 regular version and setting the zone match the LocalTalk side of the K*Star box works quite well for us. I would be interested in finding out how to get MacTCP to work correctly also. -- Clay Maeckel * UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!clay (I know nothing!) * Internet: clay@claris.com * GEnie: C.MAECKEL Claris Corporation * AppleLink: Maeckel1 * CompuServe: 73057,255
