 this is reported by ifconfig -a as ....
de0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>mtu 1500
			ether: 00:c0:f0:14:dc:dc

Yep but it don't!?? Some other details are...
a)It possibly doesn't matter but it is a Kingstone NIC with a DEC 
chipset.  
b) With pppij set to ppp -auto ISP -auto
I wasn't able to ping out or even localhost. (althoughping localhost 
initiated the dial)
c) I did notice in the light grey booting section that it said...
	can't fiind tun0, lo0,de0
d) The netcard is not currently connected to my LAN
Any ideas..
Thanks a heap
