A diagram, showing the FRADs, NetBSD boxes, Ethernets and frame relay links

Can you see ARP request/responses from the W95 boxes?

AFAIK, W95 doesn't do routing AT ALL.

W95 supports one interface only.  It may be PPP, it may be Ethernet.  But
only one at a time.

You give this interface an IP address, and a netmask.

You set up a default router.

If a datagram cannot be delivered directly, then W95 will ARP the default
router and deliver it.  Even if the configuration is otherwise invalid, such
that a proper routing stack would complain that the default router is
unreachable.

As an example, here's the configuration info that I got from my ISP when
I got my 2.2 Mbps ADSL connection.  The "ADSL modem" is a box with a telco
jack at one end, and a UTP Ethernet port on the other.

IP address: 206.47.27.13
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 207.236.110.1

The service tech at Sympatico was surprised that I called him up to question
this - the W95 users had no problem!  Fortunately, I was lucky enough to
be bounced to someone with a clue, who mentioned that 206.47.27.1 would also
work as a router.

Grrr...
