I don't believe their version of ifconfig supports the "alias"
option (the man page certainly makes no mention of it). This is on a
Linux 1.2.8 system. The patch still involves configuring multiple
pseudo SLIP or PPP devices. One of the staff machines at io.org is a
Linux box configured in this way: one IP address bound to the
Ethernet interface and one bound to its SLIP connection. Seems rather
awkward compared to the BSD way of doing things.
