Well, I have the CBOS user's guide, so I think I'm ok on commands.  But a little
fuzzy on details.

I have a 678, so tell me if this is correct:

- I set wan0 ipcp to one of my static IPs (I suppose it has to be the 'right'
one?) and I don't let it get assigned by the ISP, right?

- I set eth0 to a private IP, as it is now.

- I set vip0 to an IP.  Is that one of my 5 static IPs, or a private one?  If
it's a static IP, does that mean one less to use for my servers?  Is it inside
or outside (in the set int command)?

I think I'll be able to infer other answers from these.

If you can recommend any C678 docs that are more in depth than the CBOS 2.4
User's Guide, I'll look at them.

Thanks for the help, this is very cool.  And I knew you could do more than the
Qwest web site said.
