One of the odd things I'm finding with the em0 device, over the fxp0 device on the other machines, is that if/when I do alias (or -alias), the network hangs for a couple of seconds, and the following gets generated in /var/log/messages: Jan 4 16:09:17 neptune /kernel: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex as if it brought the device down, and then back up again ... is that normal? ---- Marc G.
