[comp.protocols.appletalk] Strange kbox behaviour?

BLASCO@ICNUCEVM.BITNET (A. Blasco Bonito) (02/18/88)

Folks,

I'm new to this list. I'm in the process of activating an IP-AT gateway
using a Kinetics FastPath box. I've got the documents and the software
from Kinetics. I've also got the bunch of software and documentation
available on the Internet from Sumex-aim (info-mac).
I spent some days reading, trying to understand, and trying to configure
the necessary files just to start experimenting the new gateway.
But when I tried to download the kbox I went in troubles! It's not
easy at all! I have followed the steps on the "Kip Installation
Instructions" document but most of the times I cannot see the
gateway when I choose "Find Gateway" from the Gateway menu of the
Prompt (FastPath Manager) program. The only times I was able to load
the gateway I had presumably misconfigured it, so I have not yet been
able to see how it works.
I cannot count on the local Kinetics distributor because they have no
expertise at all on the IP-AT matter and a very small knowledge about
the usual behaviour of a kbox.
Could anybody help me? I will appreciate very much any advice.
