Greetings,

We're running Kip version 0688 and have been seeing some strange happenings
when trying to run Stanford MacIP or NCSA Telnet for the Mac.  We've
configured the Kip code to use the following as the gateway number:

		128.230.3.1

We're a class B site and using subnetting.  The problem we're seeing is that
the Macs aren't using the gateway when trying to get to hosts off the .3
subnet.  What we are seeing, is the Mac ARPING for the destination address.
For instance, when a Mac tries to access a host with IP number 128.230.1.49,
we see the Kinetics Box ARPING for the address for 128.230.1.49 on 128.230.3
subnet instead of forwarding the packets to the 128.230.3.1 gateway.

One other point of interest is that because we have several 4.2 systems on
campus, we're using broadcast addresses of all 0's instead of all 1's.

If anyone has any clues as to what's wrong, please let me know.  Thanks in
advance,
