Hi,

just set this to 'no' in /etc/rc.config and you get rid of the dummy device:

# 
# setup dummy network device for IPADDR_0? this is useful for non permanent
# network connections (e.g. SLIP, PPP). Some software needs a connection
# to FQHOSTNAME (e.g. plp). (yes, no)
SETUPDUMMYDEV=yes

But anyway, you have to get your routing table correct....

The mouse and modem diveces are also set in rc.config:

#
# Which device is the mouse ? (e.g. "/dev/ttyS0")
#
MOUSE="/dev/psaux"

#
# Which device is the modem ? (e.g. "/dev/cua1")
#
MODEM="/dev/ttyS1"

Ciao,
        BB
