I'm toying with a similar issue. At the office there's a static IP on the ethernet, and at home will be ppp by modem. I'm thinking of a script early in the boot that figures out whether or not there's anything on the ethernet. If so, it should go through the regular boot (possibly copying files into place). If not, it should set up on demand ppp. Either way, it shoul dset up a globally readable environmental variable so that my user startup scripts can figure out which to use (ie, don't launch lynx and fetchmail automatically!) hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
