Sorry this has taken awhile, I've been configuring a Xylogics Annex
for the first time!!

I received a few replies from:
Daniel.Blander@ACSacs.com
barnett@zycad.com
jeffw@triple-i.com
sn080366@teachersoft.com

And one from a Sun Rep. There were 2 me toos, one person gave me a few
pointers about changing broadcast from 0 to 1 & one person told me
I had to use vif. & my Sun Rep said that sun didn't support it but there
was a url that talked all about it at:
   http://www.straylight.com

Thanks for the help!
