Ron's commands might leave the impression that Rutgers does not
support subnets on our Suns.  Our copy of SunOS 3.2 does support
subnets.  (It is quite easy to do this, even without source.)  While
we use proxy ARP on our cisco gateways to do some of the subnet
routing, where we choose to do so we do it by telling the hosts
explicitly that it should treat all routes as local (route add 0.0.0.0
`hostname` 0).  Of course this is not practical for hosts with
interfaces on more than one Ethernet.
