Lines: 17 The KIP code is really only intended to be run on the Kinetics FastPath 2/3 (KFPS2/KFPS3). If you have a KFPS-4, then Kinetics ships K*, which supports IPTalk (Appletalk-in-UDP). The Gatorbox and the Webster Multigate also support IPTalk. In any of those appletalk routers, it is a matter of configuration, so the KIP code is not necessary for those routers. If you have a KFPS-2, then you will want to run the KIP code, which you need to build. The KIP code is built for the KFPS-2 using either SUMACC (a 68000 cross assembler for unix) or if you are on a 68xxx based Sun, you can use gcc as documented on the Rutgers KIP distribution. If you want to use EtherTalk, see the messages posted by Charles Hedrick recently to this group. He has some detailed information that should help explain what all these distributions are about.
