Hi Steve,

Yes, I have tried GATED, however that is not without its problems. The period
between broadcasts is too short in GATED, and causes problems with others on
the network. It will not work with my local network since the RIP update
rate in GATED is
fixed at 30 seconds and the local standard (using NOS) is 450 seconds. Is
there possibly a means availble to tailor GATED's RIP update rate to 450
seconds so that it would be compatible with the NOS entities on my local
network? How does one go about configuring GATED? Thanks for any help.
