I don't understand your last line above. Too much of the old medicinal
brandy eh?

There is a place in one of the rc files for local stuff. I think it's at the
end of /etc/sysinitrc. I always forget the names of those rc files. I do a
ls -l /etc/*rc* to get them all. Then do a tail on them to read the last
lines and you will see a comment that says local modifications should go
here.

At the two internet sites that I have had my Mac installed, the network
administrators' instructions have been "do not run in.routed". It can get
networks confused. I think it is for primitive types of network or
something. The default is for it to be turned on. Turn it off in 
/etc/inittab and you will add one less degree of confusion to your
net setup.
