I'm doing 'NCP TELL foo SHOW KNOWN CIRC' and so my question about that is will all adjacent routers show up on that list? This behaves differently in different operating systems, I've noticed. Just look at the output from MIM compared to some VMS system, for example. Also, the output of 'NCP SHOW EXEC CHAR' what are all the possible values for Type? CHIMPY shows up as 'nonrouting IV' and GORVAX shows up as 'area'. What other possible options are there? Good question. I bet there are more than we might know. Obviously you have three different types for phase IV, but what about phase III or phase V? And I don't know if there might be some other variants. The ones I have seen are: "Endnode IV" and "Area". But that is when running NCP on RSX. "I assume there is also Routing IV", based on this. I cannot see what phase V nodes looks like, since NCP gives an error when trying to talk to them. Johnny
