"How does set up the networking on a Ridge when one wants to send packets to a site that must go through a gateway to reach their goal? I see an /etc/networks file but no route, routed, or netstat programs" In point of fact, the reason you do not see these programs is that Ridge has yet to port them. I am currently in the same boat, being a Class B site with a Ridge and a default gateway to the net. I understand how frustrating this is. But, there is a little good news. Route is VERY close. I have a copy of route which allows incomming traffic, but (for some reason) will not establish an outgoing connection. I will be talking with ridge about this in the morning (5/19/86), and expect to have a beta-test solution available around the first week of june. Now for the bad news. Remember that a Ridge does NOT have /dev/kmem. As such, netstat has a bit of a problem finding data. Ridge is working on this, but it will be a while. I may be able to get to it sooner (I have sources..), but I will have to see. My first priorities are route and routed. Note that route -f (flush all routes) may not be implemented in the first version, again due to the /dev/kmem problem. I will post progress to the bboard as it occurs, DEC dcass@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM
