I have done EXACTLY this....I use a few scripts called: 1) Worklan ifconfig ep0 inet 63.227.213.90 netmask 255.255.255.248 ifconfig ep0 up route add default 63.227.213.94 ifconfig -a 2) Homelan ifconfig ep0 inet 63.227.213.90 netmask 255.255.255.248 ifconfig ep0 up route add default 205.147.64.44 ifconfig -a 3) Dialup ppp -auto cybcon I put these scripts in /usr/local/sbin, made them executable. Now, when I boot I use the script I want depending on where I am. Also, need to be root to run these. On 22-Mar-00 Crist J.
