Sounds cool enough.
That would explain why you get by with one IP. Only one of them is running at
any given instant. I have them both running at once, and I often am using the
IP on both at once. For example, I might have NetScape 4.5 running on my
MacOS, where I read my mail using IMAP. At the same time, I have the client
based server management tools for NT running in VPC so that I can set up new
users on the NT server. If I didn't have two separate IP addresses, there
would be confusion and conflict over communication streams.
