over the next month or so we will be connecting, via ethernet,
our apollo network (token-ring;dn4500 configured as a gateway) to
a couple of sparc machines.

realizing that most if not all of the apollo tcp-ip software was(is)
busted i obtained a patch tape (october/90) which is supposed to address
all of these  problems.
Question 1: is the above a safe assumption or, is there a later patch tape
which fixes a vital piece of tcp-related software?
Question 2: are the instructions in the Configuring and ... TCP/IP still
valid and correct or is there a new set (e-mailable or ftpable??) that
reflects more  accurately real-life user experience?

thanks in advance,
.vp
p.s. if there is enough interest i will repost
