Yikes.  Well, *mine* doesn't truncate to 12 chars.  So, for the benefit
for those who may care, *if* you are running Ultrix 3.0 or 3.1 on
a Vax (don't have a PMAX handy), "netstat -in" will show your IP address
without truncating.  Others probably better check their output, and use
ifconfig if necessary.
