We have site license for MacTCP 1.0.1, we use it primarily with NCSA Telnet
and Eudora. I edited the Hosts file as per instructions (I think), but it
doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever. Here are the details:

Mac SE, System 6.0.4, 3Com Ethernet card
MacTCP 1.0.1 set to static address, nameserver filled in (and works),
protected with AdminTCP.
BYU/NCSA Telnet 2.3.2

Hosts file (relevant fragments):

rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu A 138.87.1.2
ilstu.edu NS rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu

foo.acs.ilstu.edu A 138.87.131.1  ; a real machine, not in the nameserver
risc CNAME rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu ; trying to create an alias

Telnet to foo.acs.ilstu.edu and to risc results in "host not in Hosts file
or a nameserver". I must be missing something simple, or this machine is
completely screwed up... Please help!    Thanks - Eric.
