What would be the best approach? Should ifconfig be modified, ip, or both? ifconfig I definitely understand, but somehow it seems a bit drastic to cut the functionality out of ip altogether. Then again, my experience with pointopoint is pretty limited. -- Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer. Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry. _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
