Matt,
You should be able to do what you want with NSL. Unfortunately I am not
familiar enough with MNS to help you -- hopefully someone else can chime in.
Be aware that NSL is available beginning with Mac OS 8.5, which I think is
later than your target legacy OS. You may find it easier to ignore NSL and
directly modify the TCP/IP control panel configuration resources in its
preference file. I think that the data format is unchanged from Mac OS
7.6.1 through 9.2.2. And we all know it will never change in the future. :-)
An added benefit of directly manipulating the preference file is that you
avoid the outrageously slow NSL.
Maybe others can share some opinions on this strategy.
Regards...eric
