Among other odd things, like host.conf not handling lookups locally without triggering a PPP auto connection, PPP timeouts don't seem to work (iijppp, of course). With the new rc.conf stuff, it looks like it's about time for a real overhaul of the network configuration stuff. Is anyone interest in hacking on this? I'm going to hack my box to make it happy, if nothing else. I was thinking in terms of list boxes for aliases, and checkboxes and Windows NT style configuration for PPP as a pseudo "adapter".
