Reply to Skorik's Comment

In a series of papers we combined the Bethe ansatz with a kinetic (Boltzmann) equation in order to compute exactly transport properties in a Luttinger liquid with an impurity. In a recent comment [cond-mat/9708163], Skorik claimed that while our results were correct in linear response, there was a ``serious flaw'' in our calculation at finite voltage. We explain here why Skorik's arguments are inappropriate, and that there is no flaw in our work [cond-mat/9408068; cond-mat/9505031; cond-mat/9503172].
