Does the latest version of KA9Q (v9000105A NOS) do static host table lookups?
When I have the HOSTS.NET in my root directory on C:\ and then I type 
'ftp fred', I get 'Unknown host fred', but fred is in my HOSTS.NET.  If KA9Q
doesn't do static host table lookups, does it do name resolving through domain
servers?  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
