Or if the hosts in question are defined in a DNS server, you can enable DNS
hostname resolutions on your e3000 by:

1) If RESLVCNF.NET.SYS does not already exist, :COPY
RSLVSAMP.NET.SYS,RESLVCNF.NET.SYS.

2) Edit RESLVCNF.NET.SYS and add a nameserver entry for each top-level DNS
server in your organization, and a domain entry that specifies your default
domain.  I.e. if you say "domain foobar.com" and then try "ftp blarg", the
system will query DNS for blarg.foobar.com.

3) :NEWLINK /etc/resolv.conf,/SYS/NET/RESLVCNF
