    If you need only arc0, then the following commands should get you going:
    	ifconfig arc0 MY.IP.ADD.RESS
    	route add MY.IP.ADD.RESS arc0
-   	route add SUB.NET.ADD.RESS arc0
+   	route add -net SUB.NET.ADD.RESS arc0
    	[add other local routes here]
    	
    If you need arc0e (and only arc0e), it's a little different:
    	ifconfig arc0 MY.IP.ADD.RESS
    	ifconfig arc0e MY.IP.ADD.RESS
    	route add MY.IP.ADD.RESS arc0e
-   	route add SUB.NET.ADD.RESS arc0e
+   	route add -net SUB.NET.ADD.RESS arc0e
    
    arc0s works much the same way as arc0e.
