Hi All,

it turns out that my last statement was wrong. To my own surprise,
setnet.sh seems to be already posix-compliant with a very slight
modification. In particular, it is sufficient to comment out the
keyword "function" in function declarations, which is done with

sed -r -e 's/^function\ /##function\ \n/g' setnet.sh > setnet.dash

and, after having updated the shebang appropriately, setnet.dash can
run with ash/dash, which is posix-compliant. The doubts about posix
compliance were mostly about the management of arrays (I have only a
couple of them, atm), but turned out to be irrelevant. We need to do
more testing now, but this looks indeed promising :)
