Folks, Because of a lack of serial ports/IRQ, I obtained an Adtran XLT ISDN router/bridge. My current provider, however, does not provide either routing or bridging. The XLT has a 'single user IP gateway' mode which seems to be exactly what I need. In this mode, the XLT netotiates the PPP link and obtains IP addresses for 'itself', the gateway, etc. All of that appears to be working just fine. In order for the workstation to get the IP address, it needs to send a BOOTP request to the XLT. I have searched everywhere on the CDs, and the closest I get is netboot.com. Correct me if I'm wrong, but netboot won't do it...I'm not willing to reboot the system every time I dial out for an internet connection, especially if I have to drop to DOS to do so. Seems like a huge waste of time and effort. Has anyone out there successfully used this single user mode of the XLT, and if so, what and how did you have to hack to get it working? Since I didn't mention it, this is with 2.1.5-RELEASE. Thanks very much, -- Paul F. Wells <paul@wellserv.com> Wells Services Company Limited +1 770 941 5810 627 Heather Drive Lithia Springs, GA 30057
