Stand-alone A/UX TCP/IP (esp. with MacX)

[Alma G. Sorensen]

Greetings, earthlings.

I'd like to run MacX under A/UX but without physically being
connected to an ethernet.

If I do

newconfig nonet noappletalk

then MacX won't start, as there are no TCP/IP services in the 
kernal (it appears).

If I just unplug the ethernet, things work fine, except that
I get error messages about my net being down (surprise, suprise :-).

Is there some way to tell the kernal that I have a net, but it is
down?

On a similar note, doesn't this imply that I can't run MacX under
A/UX unless I have an ethernet card in? Or can I, under MacTCP?

Thanks,

Greg Sorensen
