This brings up something. I've got an ethernet card and a modem card, both often get used in a given day. Anybody come up with a good method of setting up the network stuff when you're on the modem or at home? I seem to remember PHK mentioned something about putting some personal hooks in pccard_ether. What I want to be able to do is have the boss (who's not particularly proficient at unix stuff) be able to go home, click a button in his window manager which in turn trips the hooks that clean up his routing tables so his modem will work. Same thing when it's at the office...clik another button and boom, we're talking over the ethernet card. I don't quite see how to do this without being superuser though, but maybe that's OK. I can put something together, just wondering if anyone has any really clever ideas for dealing with this. It used to never be a problem, as I had to take out the pccards all the time anyway. :-) Brian
