Thanks, Andy. John is on this list, too, IIRC. I have another couple of leads I'm pursuing here, as well (thanks to my little tirade last evening). It just gets so frustrating dealing with some of this ancient stuff.

If someone with some expertise in this area is on the list, the time has come for a new DHCP client for OS/2, and I'm sure we all agree that IBM isn't going to give it to us. The limitation of a single interface being dynamically configured has become insanely outmoded, and other operating systems handle multiple dynamically-assigned addresses with ease.

I don't know his abilities/time/etc. but I saw a post from John Poltorak(sp?) in one of the newsgroups saying he was looking at porting some of the BSD tcpip stuff.  You might contact him, he is active on the unixos2 list.
