I always liked this feature on the PC. I *understand* that multihoming is
available with Mac OS 8.5 and the latest version of Open Transport -- but I have
yet to find any information on it. This would supposedly make what you want to
do possible. Alex or Dan? You guys know anything about multihoming on the Mac???
In the meantime, there is a very cool Control Strip (TCP CC) that will make a
FAST change in configurations, but it's only good through OT 1.2. The same guy
(Tim Kelly) writes some Apple Scripts that will do the same thing. Or, you can
do like I did when I went to 8.5.1 -- and that is to use the Location Manager
Control Strip (not as elegant as TCP CC, but faster than manual methods). TCP CC
can be found at <http://www.madison-web.com/tkelly>.
