Look Dan, I have no idea whether you can do this stuff or not.  But there
is one thing absolutely clear: If you do not know how to use your own s/w
then I can guarantee it will never work.  Why not read the manuals?  Why
not read the cute, informative messages your s/w already prints?  Why send
me mail asking why you can not get MX record information from a host called
MX.MED.NYU.EDU, when you know, and everyone else here knows also that there
IS NO MACHINE CALLED MX. Or do you know what information should be typed
in to the  program, and what to expect as an answer?

The Medical Center may not have great support to offer you, everyone is sorry
about that, but your problem is unrelated to that.  It is entirely up to
you to figure out what is going on.   Right now the net services shoud be
adequate to your needs, and, more importantly, it is all working.
