  I have a friend that uses Redhat-4.0.  He was giving me flac about the fact
that FreeBSD will not allow the same IP on more than one device.  I talked
to a few friends and they told me that this was because haveing two devices
with the same IP is against TCP/IP standards or something.  If anyone knows
where I could read more about this could you please post.  Maybe a FAQ or
RFC???  Thanks
