My guess would be: 'add HISNET MASK HISADDR'; but would HISNET be right-padded with zeros for the host part, or truncated to the net part only? (The examples all use 'add 0 MASK HISADDR'.) And what's the best way to configure so that the second link isn't automatically brought up when I'd rather go through the primary link? (Sometimes I want to access the second network via my primary connection, sometimes through the direct connection.) Thanks, -Pat
