This is the README for EnhancePNI.NIHS.b.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

This is a package of enhancements I made to PNI 1.13 after being frustrated
by the constraints of having to name PNI configuration files by the pseudo
device in use. It contains a modified pnirun script that gets installed
in /usr/local/etc/ and two bourne shell scripts 'pniup' and 'pnidown' that get installed in /usr/local/bin.  I've included man pages for these two scripts
as well.

"What does this do for me?", you ask. Well, it allows you to name your
configuration files after the site you are calling. For example, I have a site
called 'wimsey', so I have a config file called wimsey.config that is used
to establish a connection to wimsey. I simply issue the command:

% pniup wimsey

to bring up the connection, and

% pnidown wimsey

to knock down the connection.


This code is released into the public domain as is, without warranty.

Enjoy.
