Thanks to all who helped explain about the ethernet configuration. I now have it up and running using a subnet of our class B address at work. Hopefully it will have its own class C address soon. I'm still having problems in that the various timers (e.g., TCP IRTT) in the Unix TCP/IP implementation are designed for ethernet. The latest release of SysV/68 was supposed to make them configurable, but I'm not having much luck yet. A call to Motorola is probably in order. As a matter of curiosity, how is this handled in BSD? I have another odd problem that perhaps someone could comment on. I have RIP running on NOS on the PC. It has been working fine on the ax.25 port. I configured the broadcast address using ifconfig and used "rip add" on that address. It worked fine, using "QST" for the ax.25 broadcasts. However, when I tried to do the same for the ethernet interface, NOS did not seem to know the ethernet broadcast address. I told it to use [130.138.92.255] for the broadcast IP address. When RIP tried to generate a packet, NOS issued an ARP request for [130.138.92.255]. If I manually add an ethernet ARP entry mapping [130.138.92.255] to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff it works fine.
