No. What's wrong with using Network Setup?
Performance. I'm usually not that concerned about performance, but
Network Setup locks up the machine tight for too many seconds. Its very
annoying. And with the death of OS/9 I assume that this major bug will
never be fixed. (Hmm, I wonder if a patch could be hacked together to get
rid of this problem...)
I wanted to avoid having to work around Network Setup's performance
problem. I will likely come up with a caching scheme that watches the
modification date of the TCP/IP preferences instead of watching Network Setup.
