: We have a just-delivered DEC VT1000 X terminals (ROM rev 1.2, 2M RAM)
:here, and we've run into some problems with it. The first is that it
:can't seem to reach anything except the network/Ethernet it's on. When
:we try and start up a Telnet session, the terminal tells us that IP
:address is unreachable

Initial versions of the VT1000 did not have the ability to static route, nor
listen to IP routing protocols.  I inquired at the last DECUS and got the
impression that new roms would be shipped (near term) to provide this
functionality.
