Oh, boy, I feel bad.  The hardware was all set, and everything looked
right from a "TOPS" view or the Internet Manager view.

But I had not configured the applications right.  NCSA Telnet--all
I had to do was change the zone name.  (I guess I just forgot)

MacTCP is tougher.  I haven't quite gotten it yet, but I know what
should happen.  The SMTP daemon depends on MacTCP, so once I fix that
mail will flow again...

Thanks for the e-mail suggestions.  And thanks to Paul Mazzorello (sp?)
at Shiva.  I asked him, posted this, and then got loads of help and
explanations from him the next day.
