Alright how many people are still running some sort of NOS on DOS?
Time to move forward folks and use the excellent routing capabilities of Linux.
Every time I look at the encap.txt and see stuff like:
route addprivate 44.129/16 encap 118.22.1.194
I ask myself why do we still export is this way. I say export it as:
ip route add 44.129.0.0/16 via 118.22.1.194 dev tunl0 onlink
And let those who still need it the old way learn the pain of conversion. Give them a reason to upgrade/ move forward.

Don brought up some good points. In addition:
- non Linux-kernel routers (e.g. JNOS and TNOS) would not be able to route to you as they would need to be reprogrammed and recompiled (FYI, JNOS and TNOS is the most commonly used AMPR Network OS)

Or we can go the other way... Turn off all these fancy routers and protocols and turn the radios back on... We never had better RF technology available for cheap and I don't see much use being made of it..
A CONVERS session on JNOS on a DOS box at 1200 baud can be more 'special' then thousands of words on these commercial infrastructure systems with canned tools...

PS. New toys arrived this week and with a bit of luck they'll be on the air. 9k6 (and maybe much much more) in the 440 band for $80 a side - just plug the USB into a RPI or whatever...
