Phil Karn's KA9Q package. The code seems very readable, and written with portability in mind. I would like to use it at a site, but the following questions come to mind first, and all pertain to the PC/MS-DOS universe: (1) Can it be compiled with the Microsoft C compiler? (Has anyone tried?) Probably. I have heard of ports of versions other than the latest (870829.6). If you wanted to roll your own, you could start with my Turbo-C port. (2) Are there more drivers out there for it, such as pronet-10 (p1300 card) or arcnet (pdi508) devices? I don't think so. Michael Shiels is willing to sift granite to get an arcnet driver, though... I'm in the market for a Microm Interlan NS5210 driver (or whatever the product number for their new cheap PC ethernet card is). (3) Do hosts forward by default? That is, will any application do IP routing? (I heard something about a specific gateway program...) Hosts forward packets to whichever interface you tell them to. Yes, any application that sets up the routing will forward packets. (7) Is anyone currently working on adding subnet support? Subnet support? Maybe I'm revealing my ignorance, but isn't this subnetting: route add [128.153]/16 ec0 and to get off of your subnet you use: route add default ec0 your.gate.way.here. -russ
