- This is what I am curious about, since my original question concerned Proteon
- routers. I have documentation from cisco concerning StarLAN which states:
-
- "The station address of each router definition MUST match the ethernet
- address for the cisco router for that interface. This is a restriction
- imposed by the AT&T StarGROUP Software implementation".
-
- I would assume this to mean that I need multiple NSAPs, one for each
- ethernet interface on the router. Yet the Proteon software only allows me
- to set one Network-Entity-Title. This leads me to suspect that StarLAN OSI
- and the Proteon software will never work properly together. Hence, I am
- very curious to see if anyone is routing StarLAN OSI with Proteon routers :-)

- This would be a benefit at our site.
