I don't think so. That's the name returned by the OS, I think. (Well, maybe on some platform is REBOL that is giving it a name...)

On linux, you get eth0, eth1 etc. for you ethernet adapters, ppp0, etc. for PPP connections, lo0 etc. for local loopback. There could be others, and I assume the name is given by the kernel (i.e. the module handling the interface). GSJ> I fear I still not be adequately articulating my question(s), but the GSJ> question was more expressing curiousity over the schema that RT chose. Dunno if it's really RT. On unix at least it is not; on Windows maybe the name is given by REBOL, or maybe the OS gives them names too; anyone knows?
