If there are any errors, it's my typing. This is worse than sneakernet;
I couldn't figure a protocol to write the ./ifconfig -a output to a
floppy and then cut and paste in WinXP Thunderbird. I had to print it
out and then reboot into WinXP, open Thunderbird, type it in by hand,
and I'm a lousy typist.
