There is a problem with the new VAXstation 3100 model 40s being used
as dialup servers: they will not talk to the network without using
ifconfig to mark the se0 interface down and up (that is, after rc.net
is run they will not talk to the network, even though this script
reports no errors). I have the following line in /etc/rc.local as a
workaround
/etc/ifconfig se0 down ; /etc/ifconfig se0 up # don't ask...
but a real fix would be a good thing. See me if you want to play with
one of these machines to track down this bug.
