Heck, I'm just happy to have someone to bounce ideas off of. You won't get
any crankiness from me.

Okay, I tried that and got an error "Unable to connect to remote host:
Connection Refused"
When I built this machine I did not use any of the simple installation
setups like for a Server, Workstation or Scientific Workstation. I selected
advanced and all I selected was telnet, ifconfig and tcpdump. So, unless
mail services are selected and installed by default this machines probably
would not have them. Basically, all I want this machine to do is to monitor
a network segment while I telnet into from another segment to take a look.
I could go ahead and install mail services for diagnostic purposes I don't
have a problem with that.
