Neither is my VMS MicroVAX running Twg's 3.2 TCP which allows me, I guess,
to be a master server ON MY DISCONNECTED Internet.  I load from my hosts
file and named.(wildcard) files, or just the later.  Haven't figured it
all out yet, BUT it works .. come on Sun .. you can too.

Have no internet connect ..

Looking clues from successful SunOS_3.3 ( YP with BIND (named) ), seems
not to even answer requests from my tcp servers ..
