If you want to NXHost over PPP, Simply execute the following 7 lines
after the ppp connection has been brought up (these are simply the
lines from the rc.net script that signal the nmserver that it should
check for new interfaces.  Note that the kill command does not kill the
nmserver.  Rather, it sends the "USR2" signal to the nmserver.)

#!/bin/sh
#  Let the nmserver know the fruits of our network configuration endeavor.
pid=`ps cax | egrep nmserver | awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
    echo "Reinitializing nmserver's network portion"
    /bin/kill -USR2 $pid
fi

Note 1: You have to executed the lines under "sh".  I suggest you
save them in a file and type "/bin/sh file".

Note 2: I haven't actually tried this (I don't have another NeXT to
test it on), but I figured out out reading the rc scripts.  Please let
me know the result if you try it.
