 I have committed another change. The timeout in the read builtin now
 applies to the entire read, not the first character, and the weirdness
 is gone.
 
 I suggest changing the script as follows:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 set -x
 DEFINT=vr0
 DEFIP=192.168.0.1
 DEFMASK=255.255.255.0
 if read -t 5 -p "Press Enter now if you want to configure the network: " dummy; then
 	read -p "Enter network interface [$DEFINT]: " INT
 	read -p "Enter IP address [$DEFIP]: " IP
 	read -p "Enter netmask [$DEFMASK]: " MASK
 else
 	echo 'Using defaults'
 fi
 echo ${INT:=$DEFINT} : ${IP:=$DEFIP}/${MASK:=$DEFMASK}
 
 This should work well on both 8.x and older versions.
