More intelligent? Will lilo work, or do I need (I think it's called)
System Commander?

I'll give that a try.

Sorry I wasn't fully clear on what's going on - slirp doesn't care what
I claim my address is - I've tried a bunch of different ones and they
all work. What matters is the server address - unless I echo the server
IP address back at it, it barfs on the add 0 0 HISADDR line. (This is
with a Netcom shell account, if anyone's made this work there. There
must be what, 4 of us left?)

As always, thanks tons, Doug.
