regarding the iconet problem, it turns out there is (was?) a
declaration

ICOnet = {iconet, ...}

and the -i flag was being used.  think about it.  GIGO, no?

regarding the "terminal link to a domain" problem, well, yes, i didn't
think this through, and will fix it up when i get some time.  (in a
nutshell, the penalty won't be applied to the domain, but to the host
members, which may be down the domain tree a fur piece -- i hate this
sort of hack, but vox populi, vox dei, right, besides, when rick adams
and greg noel say "jump" i say "how high?".)

on reflection, i did think it through -- it sez right there in the BUGS
section:  "Terminal nets are not implemented."  (a domain is a special
sort of net.)

(i know, "get off that sopabox, honeyman.  i said JUMP, boy!")
