I've got a small perl script that I run out of /etc/rc apon bootup that
reads in a configuration file and prints out a little menu, prompting you
to choose which network you're connected to.  It remembers the last menu
item selected and will auto-default to that if no input is detected after
5 seconds.  If anyone is interested in it, I'll be glad to post it to an
ftp site.
