Well I'm still alive, but y BBS has had a lot of problems
due to changing from MNL to polling as the number of callers
fell to 0!

I shall still be here for a while.

SO, to be on topic, perhaps you can explain:

If you have a simple network at home say 192.164.2.255,
with machines ~.1 ~.2 etc,

and you want to call out on a machine (phone) to an ISP
who expects you to take the number he gives you, how
do go about setting HOSTS and RESOLV and things.

If a machine is the local name server, how do you tell it 
that? Like if you set ~.1 as the name server, when it
comes up, and it sees name server = 192.164.2.1
it says 'server cannot be reached'.

I have Linux, BSD, OS/2 and win95. (and Dos Lan services).
