Could you explain that again?  I didn't quite understand.

Are you saying that ctlib reads the interfaces file, sees 'tli'
but decides to use 'ether' instead since it knows TLI is not
available?  Whereas dblib is not so clever and needs to be told
the correct format to start with?

Or do you mean that TLI format does work with ctlib on Linux,
but does not work with dblib on Linux?

What would be the effect on ctlib applications if I changed the
interfaces file as you suggest above?
