The manpage say it also should be official-name network-id aliases... although it kind of works that way but mostly doesn't. Also, the second address printed on each line by "netstat -r" still comes out as an IP address only, not what it used to do as I recall, and certainly not "right". -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access.
