Jordan K. Hubbard 8dde32f1ad My first attempt at a TCP/IP help screen. The label and partition
help screens aren't even started yet..  If someone's feeling like they
have some extra time there..  ahem..  :-)

This screen allows you to set up your general network parameters
(hostname, domain name, DNS server, etc) as well as the settings for a
given interface (which was selected from the menu before this screen).
You can move through the fields with the TAB, BACK-TAB and RETURN
keys. To edit a field, use DELETE or BACKSPACE. You may also use ^A
(control-A) to go to the beginning of the line, ^E (control-E) to go
to the end, ^F (control-F) to go forward a character, ^B (control-B)
to go backward one character, ^D (control-D) to delete the character
under the cursor and ^K (control-K) to delete to the end of the line.
Basically, the standard EMACS motion sequences.
The ``Extra options to ifconfig'' is kind of special (read: a hack :-).
You can use it for specifying the foreign side of a PLIP or SLIP line
(simply type the foreign address in) as well as selecting a given
"link" on an ethernet card that has more than one (e.g. AUI, 10BT,
10B2, etc). The following links are recognised:
link0 - AUI * highest precedence
link1 - BNC
link2 - UTP * lowest precedence
That is to say that you can enter one of "link0", "link1" or "link2"
into the `Extra options' field to select a different link.
When you're done with this form, select OK.
