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. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
