You can use MODSET KEY=ZERO to put yourself in KEY0. Then you can modify any storage you have access to which includes the operating system. This can be dangerous. If you modify the wrong area of memory you can cause other programs to fail and they will have a difficult time figuring out what

>Is this about the same thing as multiple network adapters (cards)? No. A TCP/IP stack will often use multiple network adapters to the same network for load sharing and fault tolerence. If one adapter fails the other will continue to operate. If you have multiple stacks, one for each network

One good reason to have seperate stacks is if you have two or more completely seperate networks. If you try and combine two seperate networks in one stack, you will run into routing issues. It is much easier to manage if you have a seperate stack for each seperate network. Bill
