Thanks to everyone who helped out. The solution that finally worked was simply to use the default sendmail.cf and define Dj, DS and DM at the locations where they are shown. (I was had not defined Dj previously.) Question: Does the placement of the definitions in the file matter? That is, if I defined Dj at the end of sendmail.cf, would it still work? I should now be able to dial into one modem, dial the internet on the second modem, and manage my email without dealing with XWindow. Is this really necessary? No, but I'm having a lot of fun learning!
