We'll be using SPARCstations to develop code for our underwater
vehicle which will run VxWorks.  How do people restrict access to
VxWorks targets over the net?  Do you set up a subnet?  A gateway?  If
you'll be having some high bandwidth traffic running between a VxWorks
target and say, a SPARC running a simulation, is it best to set up
a gateway or subnet?  Somehow I can just picture a hacker telnetting
to our robot and accidentally turning thrusters on...

               Too many poles in the right half of the plane.
