[AG-TECH] Multicast workaround?

[Don Morton]

Howdy, our machines are set up and ready to go (at least on a test
basis), and we have our beacons out, but no multicast past our local
router.  Bill Nickless is in contact with our network person on this.

In the meantime, is there a means to start trying to bring the AGN
"live"
without multicast?  I hear terms such as "bridging" and "tunnelling" -
are
these approaches I might want to consider just to get us interacting
with the outside world until our multicast is working?  I'm quite
un-knowledgeable in this area - if this is something I might want
to consider for the short-term, would somebody be able to point
me to some info on how I would proceed?

No rush on an answer - I'm now heading out X-C skiing on the Idaho
border - no computers out that way! :)

Thanks for any help/advice,

Don
