Once upon a time Dennis D. Baker, Jr shaped the electrons to say...
[text/enriched is unsupported, treating like TEXT/PLAIN]

Remember the list rules - pure ASCII, unenriched, unattached, unHTMLized text.

Yes, it will *route* as many networks as you wish.

This is not what you asked in the first paragraph. :-) Here you want it
to *directly address* more than one network on a physical interface. This
is WILL NOT presently do. PortMasters, all of them, in the current releases,
will only address ONE network per interface. This will change in ComOS 3.8,
but that is only available in beta, and only on the PM-3, at this time.
ComOS 3.8 adds support for ethernet subinterfaces.

Now, if they are contiguous networks you can always supernet. Turn them
into one network.

Wouldn't help, see above.

More than that, the list manager from Lucent has stated such things are
not appropriate here. Please follow the list rules.
