NOTE: Since SLiRP users must share the ip number of their host, two
Kali players on the same host will have to use different ports for
Kali. If you get an error when running SLiRP that says you don't
have permission to redirect the port, try using a different port.
Try 2214 instead. IMPORTANT: if you use a different port, be sure
to add a line in your kali.cfg file that reads something like:

port = 2214

Also, if you plan to host a Kali VSN, the other players will have
to enter your port number on the command line like this:

Kali aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 2214

Setting up and using Kali

Step 1: Set up a new directory where Kali and all its configuration
files will be kept. You can name this directory anything you like
(I suggest c:\Kali). UnZIP the kali103.zip file into this new
directory, and make it the default (chdir to it). We will refer to
this directory as the "Kali directory."

Step 3: Set up your WATTCP.CFG file. Your WATTCP.CFG file contains
important parameters used by the WATTCP TCP/IP kernel built into
Kali. These values MUST be entered correctly if you wish to make a
connection with another Kali node. In preparation for this, you'll
need several bits of information. Ethernet users should contact
the network administrator for your site and find out the IP address
for your machine, the IP address for your gateway or router, the IP
address of at least one Domain Name Server local to your site, and
your netmask value. SLIP and PPP users will only have to know
their own ip# and a nameserver; the ip# is usually reported each
time you connect. If using snatch this will be taken care if
automatically when you connect. IP addresses consist of four
groups of digits separated by periods. In our example, the
machine's IP address is 128.191.23.5, the gateway is 128.191.23.1,
the netmask is 255.255.255.0, and the nameserver address is
128.191.44.67. NOTE: it is important to use the numeric IP
addresses, not the actual host names. NOTE: If you have other
internet programs currently installed on your machine, such as a
Gopher client, the Trumpet newsreader, or the iFrag program, you
can probably find the information you need in the configuration
files used for those programs. If the application is based on the
Waterloo TCP package, it will have it's own WATTCP.CFG, in which
case you can simply copy it over to your Kali directory. When you
have collected all this information, use your favorite ASCII text
editor to edit the WATTCP.CFG file in your Kali directory. Edit or
add the lines beginning with my_ip=, gateway=, nameserver=, and
netmask=. On our example machine, the WATTCP.CFG file for an
ethernet user looks like this:

my_ip = 128.191.23.5
gateway = 128.191.23.1
netmask = 255.255.255.0
nameserver = 128.191.23.9

For a PPP user:

my_ip = 128.191.23.5
nameserver = 128.191.23.9
