Hi, Kenny! No, I don't believe there's a shell script, and it doesn't appear that debian has put anything in explaining how to fit it in with their setup, though I could be overlooking. In fact, there isn't even a /etc/pump.conf though I certainly can create my own if I need to do so. There is a mention in the "interfaces" man page that you can use that file with pump, but then it goes on to say that some programs may be looking for a file other than the interfaces file anyway. I did look at using dhcp-client, but there was a lot in the dhclient.conf file that I wasn't sure about. For now it is working, but I eventually would like to get it better integrated into the system. Cheryl
