Edmund, Yes, right now I'm sending this message from a 386 on my home Ethernet. It is linked to work with a pair of PCs running KA9Q as routers on opposite ends of a dialup PPP link. I am also using VJ TCP/IP header compression. The latest versions of KA9Q can be obtained by anonymous FTP from thumper.bellcore.com under the /pub/ka9q directory. My "standard" versions are under /pub/ka9q/nos while several experimental versions contributed by others can be found in parallel directories. The documentation is in /pub/ka9q/docs. Note that this stuff is undergoing constant evolution at the application level, but the basic IP router stuff is pretty stable and reliable. Note also that this is a side project for me, and I have a VERY limited amount of time to spend on supporting it. Phil
