	I run off of an ethernet network that is using the cheapo dhcp 
configuration, in which you're ip address is allocated and deallocated 
everytime you log in.  OS/2 4.0 and Windows95 support a configuration 
for this, however I could not find anything similar for FreeBSD.  Is 
there anyway to get around this or should I just wait for the next 
version to see if it supports it.
