We are trying to connect two vaxen using DMR-11s. One is a 780 running
Mt. Xinu's 4.3 + NFS, the other is a 750 running Ultrix 1.2.

The two machines don't want to talk to each other; the 780 at least will
eventually crash from a lack of mbufs. Here is the relevant part of the
/etc/rc.local file:

	# set hostname and config interlan and s/w loopback
	hostname emoryu2
	ifconfig il0 netmask 0xffff0000 `hostname` broadcast 128.140.0.0
	ifconfig lo0 localhost
	route add `hostname` localhost 0
	hostid `hostname`
	
	# set up dmr
	/etc/ifconfig dmc0 inet emoryu2-dmr emcard-dmr netmask 0xffff0000
	/etc/route add emcard emoryu2-dmr 0
	
	/etc/route add 0 emoryu1 1	# for our X.25net csnet connection
	
With this setup, neither side of the DMR responds to a ping. I can do a

	route add emoryu2-dmr localhost 0

and then the local side of the dmr responds, but the remote does not.

We have a Class B network number, 128.140, if that makes any difference.

Anyway, if you are successfully using a DMR-11 to talk to another vax,
under 4.3 and/or Ultrix, please let me know what you're doing right, and what
I'm doing wrong. (There are days when I'd rather use a tin can and string...)

Thanks,
