My machine at home is just a backup system from work which I need to be
able to use at short notice. I have copies of /etc/init.d/network for
home and work. The only substantial difference: GATEWAY= is hashed out
at home. (Insubstantial difference: I have a 168 network alias to plug my
wife's laptop into.)
Obviously I leave a terminated T-piece in the NIC.
I just ignore the occasional daemonic howls of protest.
I raise ppp myself, rather than on demand, as I'm the only user.
Cheers,
