Anyway, would the Windoze NT family command ipconfig deliver the functionality you need?

Probably, all I am using ifconfig for is the interface IPs and associated broadcast addresses. I have managed to avoid windows for the last few years and I don't remember exactly what ipconfig output looks like. Anyway, you would have to talk mschrag into adding something like this into jEmplode, and it really is kind of an ugly hack so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he didn't want to deal with it.
