In order to do what you want to, you'll need another computer with multiple NICs and some routing software. One possibility is KA9Q (nos.exe) from Phil Karn (available for FTP from thumper.bellcore.com). It also uses the packet drivers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Beebe (203) 785-4566 ***** ***** ***** * * Biomedical Computing Unit * * * ** * Yale University School of Medicine * * *** * * * 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06514 * * * * ** * * * * * BEEBE@YALEMED.BITNET beebe%biomed.decnet@venus.ycc.yale.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
