OK, here is a version done with echo/read instead of 
select.  It's not fancy, but you could use additional 
echo lines to make a nicer menu.
---------------------------------------------
echo -e "(1) home\n(2) work\n(3) school"
read i
case $i in 1) ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 ;;
           2) ifconfig eth0 404.97.36.9 ;;
           3) dhcp eth0 ;;
           *) echo "THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE"
esac
