Subject: [OS2Wireless] default route problem

It is indeed enabled by default, as INETCFG -G MULTIDFRT will confirm:

#Inetcfg:       CURRENT DEFAULT MINIMUM MAXIMUM
multidefrt      1       1       0       1       Multiple Default Routes 
ON/OFF

Note the value in the "DEFAULT" column. I think its lack of familiarity 
to most of us is based on two issues:

   1. Most of us (until recently, with the advent of Wi-Fi) use(d) a
      single NIC with a single address, and practically none of the more
      advanced routing capabilities of OS/2 brought to us in the ported
      AIX stack (which so closely resembles the BSD design); and
   2. Most of us use DHCP, and with only a single interface enabled for
      DHCP at a given time, the ability to take advantage of MULTIDFRT
      is somewhat constrained.

The above notwithstanding, this may indeed prove to be a valuable 
configuration option for us, and one worth exploring further.
