- This points to a problem in registering the host. Deterimine how the
- unix site handles host names and get it registered. Your previous

- The Xenix box knows about the Unix box, presumably because it has a
- local /etc/hosts table. This seems to be a case of "I know about the
- rest of the world - But the rest of the world knows nothing of me".
