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
