     Thanks, William.  I've learned.  But I am trying to ping
this machine through a Cisco 675 router/modem (yeah, still messing
with this thing) from a remote server, so the problem is yet to
be solved.  I know that NAT can be done through the router/modem
by entering commands involving port numbers.  Other than that,...
?
