Hi,

I've got a notebook which has a dual networked personality.  By day, it is
the mild mannered ethernet-using notebook.. but by night, it changes.  It 
becomes the wild, PPP-based machine that strikes fear into people's 
hearts...

Now, I'm curious if anybody else does this type of switching, and if so, is
there is an easy way to switch around the net config between the two
situations?  The hostname's/addresses are different between the two.. 

Thanks for any help..

paul
