sorry if i haven't been too clear in my original question. The ifconfig cmmand has a 'alias' parameter. What does this enable me to do? It seems very similar to a creating a logical network interface, but i can create a logical network interface without having to use the 'alias' command.
Not sure if this is any clearer.
thnks,
zaff

nrports
NRPORTS(5) Linux Programmer's Manual NRPORTS(5)
NAME
nrports - NET/ROM port configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
Nrports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the NET/ROM ports that are to be used. When dealing with an NET/ROM util-
ity such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a reference to the line within nrports, which has
the same name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind the command to a particular NET/ROM interface, this binding
is done by matching the callsign on the line in nrports with the callsign of the port set by ifconfig.
The nrports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port description in the following format, each field
being delimited by white space:
name callsign alias paclen description
The field descriptions are:
name this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier.
callsign the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to.
alias this is the alias of the NET/ROM port.
paclen is the default packet size for this interface.
description a free format description of this interface, this field extends to the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
