Dear Rob I used to do it 15 years ago and it worked I even publishe the config file to the Gateways users group that time I did a bi directional tunneling to UCSD (that time it was called mirrorshades) and let him deal with all the neccessary routes unfortenetlly it was long ago and the network has changes and i have stopped to work in networking and forgot most of the cisco routers CLI commands What i have described in my config was a (what I think) establishing a two way tunneling to AMPR.ORG router (the IP of the destination tunnel is the Commercial IP of AMPR.ORG router) Im not sure that it is inough and mabe i need more commands Regards Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org

Hi there I have started to config a Cisco rouer to serve as a gateway for the AMPRNET I put in the command the following lines
interface Tunnel0 ip unnumbered Ethernet0 no ip directed-broadcast tunnel source Ethernet0 tunnel destination 132.239.255.131 tunnel mode ipip
Unfortunately due to the way tunnels work in Cisco and other commercial routers you will need to repeat that 300 times with different destinations and setup 500 routes to route the traffic, and repeat that regularly because the destinations and routes change all the time.
With a Linux system instead of the Cisco you can automate that very easily. There are possibilities to automate it on the Cisco (see that link Steve gave you) but still it will be a lot easier to just use a Raspberry Pi or other small Linux system.
