I use bcastd to send RIP packets, but for routed I think all you need to 
do is to list the following in /etc/gateways and re-boot.

host 199.232.your.net gateway 199.232.46.9 metric 1 passive

I forgot what you said your network number was but if you broadcast the 
network number as if it were a host route, III's Portmaster will route 
all traffic for your sub-net to you.  The reason for this is the 
Portmaster cannot understand variable sub-nets (i.e. RIP2).  What III does 
is to apply a netmask for a range of IPs they have subnetted.  That way, when 
you send a host route that's not really a host but a subnet number, they 
will send you returns for all your alloted IPs.

BTW: 199.232.46.9 is the Worcester Portmaster.  Double check that it's 
the one you call.


I hope this makes sense.
