Richard,
Thank you! I'm still new to this tcp/ip thing, and was stumped. Modem
delays I knew, but sockdelays is new. I reset it to 120, and found what
I was looking for on the first try -- or almost the first. <G>
I don't have problems with DNS, but did look to see if domainto was in
LANTCP.CFG ... couldn't find it. Checked the copy of WATTCP.CFG I have
and wasn't there either. I'll add the commentary you provided to my
WATTCP.CFG file "just in case."
Anyone interested in what's at the Library of Congress can visit at
http://www.loc.gov/homepage/lchp.html
Besides a fantastically complex catalog database search setup, there
info on exhibitions, copyrights, history, lots of other stuff. And
since it's on the internet it's available to everybody 24/7. Wish I'd
know in July what I've found out since then. I probably would have
stayed in DC another two weeks at least. <G>
l.d.
