Someone awhile back was asking about how to implement a SLIP to Ethernet Gateway using KA9Q. I would like to take a peek at his/her results (or anyone elses who's got this beastie working). All help is very much appreciated. Thanks! Paul Charette Department of Computer Engineering University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona "Gosh it's hot ..."

In my case I have a local LAN, with lots of Unix boxes etc.,so I use our local nameserver for host lookups. In my autoexec.net I have : hostname foo # no need to explain ip address [x.x.x.x] # My host's IP-adress attach packet 0x70 lan 5 1500 # I use a packet driver for # my ethernet card attach asy 0x2f8 2 slip sl0 1024 576 9600 # SLIP on com2 in 9600 bps # Now for the fancy stuff domain add [130.237.72.201] # IP-address of my nameserver # I use only one route add default lan # Obvious route add [y.y.y.y] sl0 # IP-adress at the other end of # the SLIP line arp publish [y.y.y.y] ether 00:00:c0:05:df:15 # One has to know the ethernet # SLIP systems ethernet address # adress of the card. This is # ip-adress of gateway # my card's address of course That, I think, is the most interesting in how to make a gateway. For other needed parameters look in a autoexec from the NET-distribution. Actually, the only NOS specific thing here should be the 'domain' command. You can also use 'domain suffix some.dom.ain' to add a default domain. And since I haven't yet tried a NOS version made this year somathing might have changed. But hopefully not.
