That's exactly what it means. It might even be possible to connect two Linux multinet boxes to each other but I haven't tried it!

One thing that doesn't seem to work is routing on big-endian Linux boxes (eg my sparc!). But it's fine on a 'normal' system

I've got multinet working on Linux, for those that are interested.

Sourceforge appears to be sulking at the moment so I've uploaded the
latest dnprogs sources to

http://chrissie.fedorapeople.org/dnprogs-2.44.tar.gz

and to Debian.

Instructions for setting it up are here:

Have fun, and let me know how you get on.
