Hello to everyone. I am a fairly new reader to this newsgroup. I hope this
is the right place to raise the following question(s).
Here at doc.ic.ac.uk, we recently bought and installed two KFPS's to link a
couple of our appletalks to the departmental ethernet. We have no fewer than 7
different gateway programs in our collection. By trial and error we have now
found one gw program (at-gw.srec) that works with Stanford's atalkad and CAP.
We have CAP installed, running on a Unix host and talking 'to' the FastPath.
I would appreciate if some kind soul could explain what the different gateway
programs do, and when one should use them. The following is a list of the gw
programs :
AT-gw.srec 51150 (50K) bytes Nov 11, '86
UDP.srec 36556 (36K) " Nov 11, '86
epeek.srec 21811 (21.5K) " May 29, '87 V.A0X8
at-gw.srec 77864 (76.5K) " Jun 5, '87
combgw.srec 69161 (68K) " Jul 9, '87 V.C0X9
etalkgw.srec 71186 (70K) " Nov 12, '87
gw.srec 83118 (81.5K) " Dec 14, '87
We have PROMPT and FastPath Manager (v2.0 & v2.1). We implement subnetting
on our ethernet (Internet Class-B network). IP addresses for the Macintoshes
on the appletalks are assigned dynamically.
Thanking you all in advance.
