- Or when the ethernet interface exists but is not configured (you can't take
- the enet out of a Quadra). I could make MacTCP work, but GetMyIPAddr
- insisted on returning the IP address of the ethernet interface, so MacOS
- programs that needed to know their own addresses (eg, ftp clients) would
- fail.

- The patches work fine for me, too, with one caveat. The mac emulation dies
- if you start a MacTCP application on the patched system when the SLIP
- connection isn't up. I dunno if it applies to all MacTCP apps or some
- subset; given the time it takes to get logged in again, I'm not anxious to
- find out.
