I've just been handed a Kinetics gateway box to get running on our network.

After reading through the documentation, I'm still quite confused as to the
proper setup of the configuration file.  I get messages about IP routing
failures when I try to run mac telnet.

My situation is this:

 +----------+      +----------+
 | mac plus +------+ Kinetics +======+
 +----------+   ^  +----------+  ^   |      +---------+
                |                |   |      |   VAX   |       |
      AppleTalk-+    transciever-+   +======+ gateway +=======+
                                     |      +---------+       |
                   local subnet----->|     Main net---------->|

I've included my current configuration file at the end of this message if
that's any help to you.

Does the kinetics software work on a Mac Plus?  Have I gotten something
subtle wrong in the configuration file?  Our local tcp/ip guru has the
needed information in the hosts files and we do have name servers running,
so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Kinetics configuration file:

* Use this field for ipsubmask - mask for subnet (see above):
000F	
* Use this field for ipsubshift - shift to subnet field (see above): 
000C 	
* These three bytes are ignored but must be left as placeholders: 
FFFFFF 	
* Bridge number on network (if any): 
00 	
* Ethernet address (configured by using the SETUP command - ignored here): 
000000 000000 		
* Gateway name (in this example, "The gateway name"): 
* 54 68 65 20 67 61 74 65 77 61 79 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

* reserved (this field should be 00FF): 
00FF 	
* The internet address and ARP (address resolution protocol) type for
* the Ethernet side of the KFPS:  89.0.128.2, type 0x800 in this example:
* for ECN I'm using : 128.46.130.61
802E823D 0800 
* The internet address and ARP type for Appletalk side of the KFPS:
* 89.64.0.1, type 0x800 in this example:
* for ECN I'm using : 128.46.144.61
802E903D 0800
* Internet default route: 89.0.128.1: 
* for ECN let's try ef: 128.46.130.18
802E8212 
* Ipmap table: this table may be used by the gateway administrator to specify
* a mapping between ddp net/node addresses and internet addresses.  Each table
* entry has the following format:  ddp net number (two bytes), ddp node number
* (two bytes), and internet number (four bytes).  The end of the four-entry
* table is marked by a FFFF entry in the ddp net number field.
FFFF 0000 00000000 
FFFF 0000 00000000 
FFFF 0000 00000000 
FFFF 0000 00000000
