It is the de facto standard for local loopback.
SM> Where does one put the above statement?
Anywhere one likes (grin). You can type it at the command
line anytime or put it in a batch file or whatever
(startup.cmd?). I put mine in my LOGIN.CMD which is placed
in my startup folder.

Ahh... I'll be on the lookout for a new SIO :-)
