I asked about how to change the IP address of my Solaris 7 system since
the method mentioned in a few articles on the archive suggested
sys-unconfig and that seemed like overkill. Too many people responded
(and continue to respond) to list them all, but a giant Thank You to
you all.

Apparently this is much simpler than I thought. I'll include the
instructions given my Dan Anderson since he was very succinct.
