*********** GATEWAY/NODE **********
There are 2 conditions to work gates successfully:
1..Tnc's must accept changing of calls between streams.
2..Tnc's must change calls even if there is a connected
channel. IF one of these rules doesn't occur,then don't
support gateway/node channels.They will not work.
The maximum number of gates or nodes or both is always
two.One per tnc. If you have more than 2 tnc's,then you
have to choose only 2 of them. Definition of gates,in the
cnf file.Just put a 'G' in the channel's gate flag.It is
selectable to work with both gateway/node or node only.
Gate prompt controls this selection.If you remove the 'X'
command from there,then the channels work as nodes else
work as gateways/nodes. (Gate prompt has declared in the
cnf file.)
Gates work succesfully under tnc-2 or drsi card,but not
under PK-232.So be carefull.
You can have gates between the same tnc types.You can't
put a gateway channel in the drsi card and another in a
tnc-2. If u have two tnc-2 put one gate channel on each.If
u have a drsi card mark as gateway only one channel.It is a
double tnc,so we don't need a second gateway channel.
Do not use terminal mode on gates.It may cause troubles in
other channels.
