You should go to your provider of operating system software, which you said is 4.2BSD unix, and ask them about configuring the gateway software for this setup. The key to answering the question I posed above is the program which handles the "Exterior Gateway Protocol" (EGP), which should be provided as part of your network software. Also, you need to address the NIC to get a registered network number for your Ungermann-Bass net, as well as an Autonomous System number (related to the EGP). Send your inquiry to 'hostmaster@sri-nic.arpa'. Mike
