Looks very nice, but at the moment there is just looks without any 
intellicence. If having some gui it should transparently (display 
resulting configurations) provice choices like these:

Local class ( ) A  ( ) B  (X) C net.  ( ) Internet.

-> setting default netmask F^60^2, some 192.168.___.___ IP address

Gateway ( ) static persistent  ( ) static dialup  ( ) dynamic dialup 
 [ ] as defaultroute.

-> implying the most usual route commands

right, sorry, there was some resource I forgot to mention.

This is my ~/.inputrc, which is read by libreadline. Please see bash(1) 
for the meaning, where you cannot tell from the name. Important in this 
context are obviously lines 3--5.

set bell-style visible
set expand-tilde on
set convert-meta off
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set visible-stats on

The following code in your .bashrc should cure this, see stty(1):

if tty -s
then
stty pass8
fi

You should also select a display font with iso-8859-1 or -15 
encoding.

Don't think so. This is language dependent. Take a look through 
`xmodmap -pke` for a feeling of what wonderful [EMAIL PROTECTED] stuff you 
can produce.
