Greetings all ... I am working on implementing a gateway using KA9Q. The gateway will be between a Sytek LAN and an Ethernet LAN. Sytek is a connection-oriented LAN with each host/workstation connection having a physical network address (the unit id on the Sytek PCU box). To do this I will be writing a driver which will allow IP to run "on top of" Sytek connections. The driver must establish Sytek connections for IP packets and then transfer the IP packets using a point-to-point protocol (SLIP or PPP). My questions are: - Is there a makefile for KA9Q which will build a version of net which will have only the gateway specific modules included (ie - a trimmed down version for gateway software)? - Should I be using the NOS version of KA9Q? Where can I get a copy of this? I have a vague idea of what it is, but I'd like more information. - The Sytek LAN will be it's own "class C" subnetwork (128.196.68.xxx). What I need to do is run routed or some such thing on the PC so it can tell the Ethernet-side hosts that it is "hiding" the whole Sytek subnetwork/domain. Is there such a beast either included in KA9Q that I'm not seeing or another piece of software that I can run to remedy this? - (File this under "wishful thinking") Is there a version of KA9Q with nameserver support? Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Sytek is a connection-oriented LAN Hi again.. Do you mean the old IBM PC Lan which they bought from Sytek? Which runs a variety of MS-Net on top of it? If so, we have drivers for KA9Q (old, working), NOS (untested), a Netbios packet driver which works with NCSA Telnet (fine). We are investigating a Netbios driver under PC-NFS, but it's still buggy. -michael -- Michael Haberler mah@nestroy.wu-wien.ac.at, mah@awiwuw11.bitnet University of Economics and Business Administration Augasse 2-6, A-1090 Vienna, Austria Tel: +43 (222) 347-541 x796 (9-18 CET) Fax 347-541 x770

I'm talking about a Sytek LocalNet 20 with PCUs (Packet Communication Units, right Jay? ;-). The PCUs will be connected to the PCs via serial lines at 9600 baud. Rather slow by today's standards, but we're trying to work with existing relics. Thanks for your response ... Cheers, Paul

My apologies for taking up room on the list. I read your message concerning the drivers you had with great interest. Would it be possible for me to get those drivers from you?...
