Okay, I have done enough damage to my head and the wall.  What is difference
between IPADDRESS and IPGATEWAY (AppleTalk NBP types) as put out by a Kinetics 
box?  Does the KStar and/or KIP software support both?

Why I want to know is Claris is moving to a new building soon and I want to
change how people access the Suns from Macs. Currently there are a bunch of
model 3 boxes using the built in code and doing the subnetting trick. I would
like to change it so one model 4 box hands out all the IP addresses
dynamically using the KIP model.  I have noticed that you can select a zone in
the MacTCP driver and you can enter it in the config.tel file of NCSA Telnet,
but when I try it with the KStar code, it never seems to find the KBox in the
zone that is configured. I have noticed that KBox is only emitting IPADDRESS
and nothing like IPGATEWAY. What am I doing wrong? I have tried reconfiguring
the KStar code many different ways but I can't seem to get it to put out
IPGATEWAY. It only works for me if the Mac is in the same network as the Kbox.
