In the next day or two we'll have the nos-hacks mailing list set up as
a place for people actively hacking on Phil's code and its derivatives
to get together and chat. As usual, use the listserv@ucsd.edu robot
to subscribe yourself.

Hi
This is my first post to this list. Name hr is Swami, I am a 15 yr old
sophomore in Hisgh School. I am trying to set up an Amprnet/Internet
gateway at the University of Rhode Island. The gateway will run on a
Sun Microsystems Sparc Staion IPC running (UNIX) SunOS 4.1.2 .
I have the source code and have compiled it into an executable file. I have
also created a pseudo-device called /dev/tun0 as per the instructions in
the Unixkit (from nic.swith.ch). When NOS starts up, the built in tunnel
driver brings up the tun0 interface on the sun. The interface then must
be brought up with the following command issued to UNIX. :
ifconfig tun0 bligh.ele.uri.edu 44.104.0.53 + broadcast + up . This
allows one to connect from NOS to bligh (via telnet) or from bligh (the Sun)
to 44.104.0.53 . But it does not allow nos to connect to anywhere else on internet or from anywhere on Internet to NOS. This is what I want to happen. What
exactly is this tunnel doing. How can I solve my problem?
