This is my first encounter with DOS machines. I am trying to set up a PC with two WD8003E cards to act as a router using ka9q. Using the packet driver supplied with the card I can get ka9q to talk to my net but this driver can only handle one card. Using the clarkson packet drivers I cant get ka9q to talk at all. With the clarkson drivers I can use pktrng to get the two boards to talk to each other ok. Why won't ka9q talk to the clarkson drivers? Details: Drivers started with: WD8003E 0x60 0x3 0x280 0xd000 WD8003E 0x61 0x4 0x2a0 0xce00 ka9q started as (for either WD or clarkson driver) ip addr 129.78.66.77 attach packet 0x60 en0 8 1500 route add 129.78.66.64/26 en0 Stephen Tolhurst (Computer System Manager) (02) 692-3549 Fax: (02) 692-3031 Dept of Architectural Science ACSnet: stephen@archsci.su.oz Wilkinson Building G04 ARPA: stephen%archsci.su.oz@uunet.uu.net University of Sydney 2006 UUCP: uunet!munnari!archsci.su.oz!stephen

That parameter in the attach command is the number of buffers. See the response from typing 'attach packet ?' 73's Jim KB3KJ
