My system, running either 1.3.64 or 1.99.8=pre2.0.8, responds to all
addresses in the 127 net as soon as I put in
route add -net 127.0.0.0
I have tried both ping and finger on a random address in the loopback
net (not that I have any idea why I want to use an address besides
127.0.0.1 - but then, there are lots of things I don't know :-) ).
Cheers,
Lukas
