Brad, NCSA Telnet attempts to route packets to the best of its ability, but as far as the K-Box is concerned it has no say in the matter (although this feature does work with the EtherSC, EtherPortSE, and EtherTalk cards). Since I have a very similar networking problem, I know what you are going though, I was unable to find an "off the shelf" gateway that would handle class B with 8 bit subnets and no promiscuous gateways. To the rescue comes the KIP code. Although it doesn't handle the subnetting correctly by default, source code is available, so a small tweaking of the code makes routing more effective. Good luck!

I am running a 12 K-box networks with a 12 bit class B mask using the combo gateway code from kinetics, ver EX05. This all works find here....call kinetics for a copy of EX05, You should also ask them for a copy of NET-MONITOR and of ECHO (a packet echo client) Our net runs lots of standard APPLE TALK, lots of TCP/IP and some PACER PIP packet, connection is to VAX'S and SUN's with a gateway to ARPA via a SUN. tom lafleur lafleur@net1.ucsd.edu
