  Ouch; you're *NOT* going to connect the two machines while logged on
via dialup, at least not without some fancy "route" statements.  If
anybody can give an example of how to do it, I'd appreciate seeing it.

  Did you miss the last line when cutting+pasting or or was that really
all?  Try "grep gateway /etc/conf.d/net" on your machines.  Here's what I
get...

# For setting the default gateway
#gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"
gateway="eth0/192.168.123.254"

  First, make sure that you are *NOT* connected via dialup.

  On the K6, insert into /etc/conf.d/net the line
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.2"
and execute /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

  On the Sempron, insert into /etc/conf.d/net the line
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.3"
and execute /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

  You should now be able to talk between the two machines... but dialup
won't work.  You may connect, but not get anywhere.  Here's what you
have to do on the Sempron...

  - *BEFORE* dialing up "ifconfig eth0 down"; you can now dial up

  - *AFTER* logging off dialup, "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart"; you can
    now talk between the two computers

  If someone has a magic configuration that allows eth0 and ppp0 to
co-exist, and function, simultaneously, please post it.
