Silly us (NCSU), since we have a site license, our campus computing center
thought we would automaticaly get updates.  So we're working on this one right
now.

We have a user here with TCP/Connect and it does the same thing.

After more hunting and pecking, I found that the dynamic addressing is working
correctly as well.  Finally, Randy Thomas (rjt@sedist.cray.com) pointed out
that the FastPath needed to create an object with name of the IP number of the
box on the AppleTalk side and of type IPADDRESS.  I checked, and my machine was
creating an IPADDRESS object for itself, but there was no IPADDRESS object from
the FastPath.  Thus, this seems the most likely culprit. He's running gateway
code KSTAR that came with his FastPath 4.  I'm running the code that came with
my PROM upgrade (3.0), is this KSTAR?  Any ideas where to get KSTAR code that
is still compatible with a FP-3?  Thanks.
