In rt_change() remember to update the interface pointer otherwise we will
send the RIP packets to the wrong interface(s) in future.
Update the hash generator and increase the size of the hash tables.
Only use the network and host parts when comparing IPX interface addresses.
Immediately broadscast RIP and SAP changes.
Change the alarm code to use the setitimer() call and only set a flag in
the alarm signal handler. This gets rid of possible race conditions.
Remove the host routing table. IPX RIP cannot do host routes, only net routes.
Make the delay between broadcast packets 50ms. It seems that some Netware
4.x servers is very slow and don't have much input buffering.
Handle received messages about networks and services that go down, better.
Add tracing of RIP and SAP changes. It gets sysloged with a level of
LOG_DEBUG.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Subject: Yet another IPXrouted fix
I think these should
should make IPXrouted fairly stable. These last problems only showed when
we had more than one route of the same cost to a net.
This will fix some endless loops in the clone code.

Here is some patches to IPXrouted. It does the following:
Always use the sap port in the destination address of sap broadcasts.
Clear the host part of network addresses so that routes will really
be deleted in the kernel.

John's IPXrouted..
this has not yet been seen to run correctly with Mike's IPX/SPX
code (he has his own)
bringing them both in is the first step in merging the two packages
for 2.2
