		Hmmm.  I put the first pair of lines in my
		P90 (10.0.0.1); the second two lines in my
		6x86.  

		Do I need *both* on either machine??  Do I
		need:

		  ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.1   10.0.0.2 -link0
		  route add -net 10.0.0.2    10.0.0.1
		  ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.2        10.0.0.1 -link0  ## in sage
		  route add -net 10.0.0.1  ## sage

		in my P90 and something similar in the 6x86??
