Marc Chametzky wrote DUSTY is "TYPE ROUTING IV" and has two circuits, TCP-0-0 to LEGATO and QNA-0 for the local network. DUSTY has connectivity to both LEGATO (and the rest of HECnet) and also to LULU. This is the way it should be. I tried setting DUSTY up as an area router, thinking that making it a level 2 router would permit LULU's packets to go through DUSTY, but that didn't seem to work either. An area router isn't necessary since all your nodes (and LEGATO too) are in the same area. LULU, on the other hand, can only connect to DUSTY. It can't connect to LEGATO. Hmm. What makes you think this? I ask because LEGATO can connect to LULU (I just tried it a minute ago), so it is working at least one way. Bob
