Huh? I dont understand what youre saying.

The only command I typed was arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4 , which
creates the arp address I should want. (my modems mac address is
00:0b:etc)

The only thing I can possibly seeing as being screwed up, is seeing as
I have a default gateway, when I do a "telnet 10.0.0.1" its using my
internet gateway instead of the ed0 device.  Which is why I thought I
needed a route command to force a 10.0.0.1 connection to go through
ed0. (linux needed the route command...)

Oh well, Ive probably confused you, and myself as well. :-)
