please do this via higher-layer mechanisms, for example WWW, SSH or whatever your slave supports. The EoE protocol indeed has some communication primitives to set some IP-layer attributes. My opinion is, that this is a major design lapse. A network protocol should never include knowledge of a higher-layer protocol. That's why I didn't implement this. ;-) -- Best regards, Florian Pose http://etherlab.org _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list etherlab-users@etherlab.org http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
