After getting CU-SeeMe reflector version 3.0 up and running on my IIcx (not
particularly speedy), I was wondering:

does multicast work on NetBSD/mac68k?

Everytime I startup I see something like:

 [mrouted] can't enable multicast routing in kernel (operation not supported)

Does this mean:
	
	a) yes its supported but my kernel just doesn't have it. (recompile)
	b) no its not supported at all, too bad, have a nice day...
	c) no, routing is not supported, but you don't need routing to do
	meaningful things (if there are such things) with mbone, etc...

I know next to nothing about mbone/multicast, but I'm very interested...

Any pointers to info about setting up multicast/mbone, or even how to
determine if I infact am on the mbone (which I doubt, but, you know, this is
CMU...) would be very helpful.
