We own a DECServer 90m (NetRider) and use it to provide dialin PPP
access for individual PC's to our network.  We had hoped to use it to
allow a business partner to dial in using a Telebit NetBlazer serial
router, thereby connecting our two LAN's.  We have the IP addresses and
masks allocated to make this possible.

Questions:

- Will the 90m function as a router on the incoming side of a PPP
dial-up connection from our business partner's NetBlazer?

- If not, is there a software upgrade which adds the routing function?

- If yes, it is not clear from the manuals how to properly set up the
routes between our two networks.  Hints?

Best regards

Rick,

I am no networking specialist but I have found out that you cannot use a 
DECServer 90M as a router.

To progress this further you should contact your local Digital sales office or 
distributer and talk to a network specialist.

Regards,

Simon
