Lines: 12 Xref: watmath net.lan:894 net.dcom:1070 As another thought, at Boston University we have solved the problem with our driver (a major adaptation of the UCB driver) which talks over our Ungermann/Bass via a DR11-W attached to an NIU-150 (U/B broadband modem.) It provides the exact same functions as an ethernet interface (even ARP and Broadcasts) to the higher layers. It goes in as just another interface under 4.2 TCP/IP and some of our machines have both the broadband and ethernet so they act as gateways. It all works fine, has been in production here for several months under both 4.2 (VAX) and VMS (Wollongong's TCP/IP), Suns soon. -Barry Shein, Boston University
