--cWoXeonUoKmBZSoM Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You could write a shell/perl script that will initiate your link. I wrote a simple perl script that bring up my laptops ethernet interface with some predetermined services depending on what known network it is on. If I connect to an unknown network w/o dhcp I configure the interface by hand. Here is a short example with out a dhcp server. If you would like to see a copy of my simple perl script that I use just drop me a line.
