On the token side (non-gateway) Apollos try using the command:

'/etc/route add default gateway_apollo 1'

Where gateway_apollo is the hostname of the gateway
machine.                                    

I've noticed with SR9.7, if you loaded the Aegis version of TCP/IP, 
it doesn't require explicit routing to the gateway. If you loaded just 
BSD TCP/IP or are using the SR10.x version, you have to use the
/etc/route command. 

Check the routing table on the token side Apollos with the UNIX 
(not Aegis) command: 

'netstat -r'.

You should see something like:

   Routing tables
   Destination     Gateway         Flags    Hops  Ref  Use        Interface
   <default>       cache.water.ca. USG      1     0    6          dr0 
                   ^^^^^^^
                   your gateway machine should be listed here

Also if you're using SR10.x, and have sub-nets, you need the
defaultmask in the /etc/hosts file.

With SR9.7, the netmask goes in the /sys/node_data/networks file
some thing like this:
xxx.yyy.192.11  on dr0 ;  mask 255.255.255.0
xxx.yyy.32.252 on eth0 ; mask 255.255.255.0

Since you are able to get to the ether side from the gateway Apollo,
routed is probably running OK on this machine.

Finally, tcp_server needs to be running. :-)
