Funny you should ask at this time. I just put Another Warp-based router
in at a hospital-client of mine. It routes a gigabit fiber optic channel
connected to a T1 a few miles away. Neat huh?

You don't need OS/2 to do it though. NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux will do.
You want to enable NAT which stands for Network Address Translation. It
is one of the easiest and most transparent ways. I don't know if Solaris
comes with NAT but the others do. Once you get Nat routing going on your
Sparcstation, all you do is set the Sparcstation's IP address to be the
default router on each computer you want to surf on.

Regards,

Jeff
