Hi,
Well, I haven't been able to get dhclient to work, but was able to 
statically assign an IP number and bring up the interface and 
communicate with local machine(s). However, I cannot go beyond the 
router, i.e. communicate with global sites. There is an entry in the 
router table for default destination -> the dsl modem. If anyone has 
any ideas please forward them, I have to do some other things now 
besides troubleshooting my netbsd network setup.

thanks,
jeff
