OK, I posted the updated package to
htp://newkirk.us/om/testing/netfix-j2.tar.gz - using 'route' instead of
'ip' now to set up default routes.  So the only external dependency should
be for resolvconf on SHR and Raster (and I'm guessing FSO).

Please test and post results or problems to this thread.
