Yes, probably should have...

A bug. Will be fixed in 1.0final.

I'll have another look at this. In my tests I could not reproduce
it...

Actually the NAT engine I used does not support multiple "Internet"
interfaces at all. The original FreeBSD version always uses a fixed
source IP address. I extended it to at least vary the source IP address
depending on which interface is online, but the situation where multiple
"Internet" interfaces are online and the source IP address has to be
picked based on routing is still not handled correctly. Will be added
in one of the next version, but adding it is somewhat tricky so I did
not want to do it before the 1.0 release.

It works, except for those functions that need to convert between
local time and GMT. At the moment this only affects "Get Time" and
some of the INetD daemons. I could probably add a tooltime as a
manual override...

I don't know yet. The problem is that the new code contains
word and longword accesses in too many places. Just recompiling
for 68000 would not help, and the lack of proper debugging
environments for 68000 makes things even more difficult...
