How odd considering gated and routed chat RIPv2 away happily with ciscos,
as well as oh, just about everything else on our WAN.

Well if it was NT then no wonder. But this is hardly a failing of Cisco if
NT cant speak RIPv2 according to RFCs. But microsoft has a disturbing
tendency to ignore RFCs not just in the area of routing.
I wasnt aware MacOS spoke RIPv2.

Thats called swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, I believe. (Other people
would call it a kludge).
