Hmm, it may actually be ok then. I've not worked with any of the 49xx series. Supporting those dynamic routing protocols certainly suggests that it knows how to route! ;) Hey Brian, have you ever worked with those hybrid router/switch boxen? Ok, I stand somewhat corrected. IP SERVICES can do tunnels on switches. Interesting. My 3560g can't do decnet routing, however. (not that i need it to) Just FYI, the 4948 is a BAD ASS switch. It's basically a single sup Cat 4500 with a single line card crammed into a 1U case. When you say hybrid router/switch boxes your talking about the ISR stuff like George was talking about recently, yes? I now have THREE of those in the forms of an 1811w, and 1841 and the recent acquisition of a 2851. The ones George has are the bigger ones, the 3000 series I believe. Interesting beasts. -brian

That you do the same way as my bridge, for instance. All the rest is just massaging the data in the packet, and eventually passing data to the next higher/lower level. The one semi-sensitive thing is that there are timers that needs to be kept, and things that needs to happen at times. But I think they all have such tolerances that you will be good even running it all in userland. Johnny

There is a DECnet stack for DOS and Windows in the Pathworks V5 or V6 client kit. Those versions were meant to be used on Windows'es before Windows NT4. Then the Pathworks32 kit was released and that could be used on WNT4.0 and Windows 2000. Maybe on XP as well. Don't remember for sure. Some pretty recent version of Pathworks32 works on Windows XP anyway. Johnny

That's not an assignment. That is going to evaluate to see whether it's true or false. Since DPORT = 0 by default, then it's evaluating "port == 0" which is true, thus its value is 1. So, you've got a statement which is: 1; Essentially, it's a no-op. With DPORT = 0, it doesn't make any difference, save for a compiler warning. If you were to set DPORT to some other number, though, the assignment wouldn't take place as would otherwise be expected. The assignment never took place, as it should have, since there was no assignment. If you changed DPORT to something else, you'd just get a if (port == 0) 0; which is just as meaningless as the result of DPORT was set to 0, which gave if (port == 0) 1; Johnny

I'm way too tired today (obviously). That was totally meaningless. (Maybe just my brain, knowing what it should say just managed to ignore that extra equal sign.) Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Fixed now. Johnny
