I dont wnat to be boring, but there is an localhost defined in
/etc/hosts ( which is a link to HOSTS.NET.SYS.
And it doesn't matter if there is a /etc/resolv.conf  ( which is a link
to RESLVCNF.NET.SYS. )

At startup I PUT in the commands:


NETCONTROL START; NET=loop     # I didnt configure that , but ping
localhost works
NETCONTROL START; NET=pclan    # I didnt configure that , but ping mpe55
works
NSCONTROL START
STREAMS 10
SPOOLER LP;START


I am not very familar to MPE systems, but I want to to  show the
facilities of free Software even for computer architectures which have a
history before coming up of Unix.

I want to show samb/iX for MPE  on a fair in hamburg next thursday.

Please help
