Re: JNOS message question



Thanks for the reply, Tim.  I think I found the problem.  By default, JNOS
doesn't see the ethernet interface on the linux system.  You have to use a
pty to route between JNOS and linux.  I'm going to give that a shot tonight
and see what happens.  Thanks again for the useful information.
