	We are having terrible problems with rlogin/rsh/rcp on our Apollos
to and from our EtherNET UNIX environment.  The usual problem is that you
cannot make a new connection (either we get connection timed-out or a network
unreachable).  I've heard that there is a way to do static routing using the
route command and I've added the route information manually in startup.spm
on our DSP-90 server.  Unfortunately, this makes the server work, but now all
of the other nodes on the ring cannot reach the EtherNET.  

	We are running on the server and other ring nodes:

	AEGIS 9.6, DOMAIN/IX 9.5, TCP/IP 3.0

	Our other machines are:

	VAX 11/780 BSD4.2
	VAX 8800 Ultrix 2.0
	Alliant FX/8 Concentrix

	I since our EtherNET has been completely reliable between all of the
machines except the Apollos I strongly suspect that Apollo blew it with their
TCP/IP package.  


	I've also tried adding the "/usr/bin/sleep 15" command before
the /etc/route commands.  This seems to work for the DSP-90 gateway,
but not any of the other nodes.  

	HELP!
