Not at the minute, nor with gatorboxes ... the async stuff needs a new type of routing (a new line type in atalkatab) that simply isn't understood by anything other than multigates (consider it a product feature if you like). If the people at Shiva, or Cayman want the half dozen lines of code that are needed to go in their products, they're welcome to them (send me mail ...) Alternatively if you are willing to run KIP instead of KSTAR, I think you can get a version of KIP with the correct support from djh (Davis Hornsby). Ask djh@munnari.oz.au (but be aware that he's away until next week). > Maybe I should ask it via > usenet before send a mail directly to Djh@munnari. It probably would have made more sense to do it the other way around... kre
