Well if you dont't want keep on reconfiguring the lan and don't want to keep on remembering the (CM)Lines to configure the lans you could just put 'm in a text file and run that. that way you can keep different confs and change 'm on the fly. It would work thus: Make a normal textfile and use your favoutrite editor to put the 3 nescessary commands in there. Each command it's own line, and call it something like worklan.txt and homelan.txt or whatever you want. To run it just type (as su/root in this case) on the CML:"source /path-to/worklan.txt" without the quotes at work and you're done. That way you can keep your dial out (needs loopback) configured i.e. don't have to reconfigure it all the time. Good Luck, HarM
