:You'd probably configure normally with ifconfig, and then use 'route' to

:again for "pandora". i.e. 1500 is the default, and 8000 is the special
:case. I'm saying this without having tried it, of course.
It's worth a shot. I'm not sure if the interface mtu is a cap or just
a suggested default.
How do you even add an explicit route to a machine already on the local
network? Did anybody ever try that? Thanks!
-mi
I seem to fail the see the logic in this, IMHO when a device is
reachable on its MAC layer and if the other node is on the same subnet,
the NIC will always try to reach that node directly?
