We have a cube on a class-B subnet with a gateway that doesn't speak
RIP.  To get the 0.9 release to network properly, we had to:

1.  edit /etc/hostconfig by hand, and enter the appropriate values
for ROUTER (the ip address of our gateway), and IPNETMASK.

2. edit /etc/rc, and change line 107 from:
		/usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 0	>/dev/console 2>&1
to:
		/usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 1	>/dev/console 2>&1

3. edit /etc/rc.boot, and change line 88 from:
	/usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR  -trailers up	>/dev/console 2>&1
to:
	/usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR  netmask $IPNETMASK -trailers up	>/dev/console 2>&

NeXT is converging on easy network configuration, but isn't there yet...
