He even states > Is the requirement that atalkad be on the same subnet as the Kbox a > limitation in the Kbox PROMs, downloaded K-Star software, or atalkad? Well, based on my experience, there is no such limitation. Here at Stanford, we have many subnets of a class A net, with FastPaths on all of them that boot from a single atalkad daemon on one UNIX system. We just specify the IP address of the atalkad host with the FastPath Manager and the FastPath happily connects across the subnets to the host. -Phil Farrell, Computer Systems Manager Stanford University School of Earth Sciences farrell@erebus.stanford.edu
