Huh?  What is the IP address of the machine you are running 'trn' on?
Where is the 'trn' binary located?

inwap@inwap% nslookup inwap.best.vwh.net
Name:     inwap.com
Address:  130.94.177.175
Alias:    inwap.best.vwh.net
inwap@inwap% which trn
trn: Command not found.
inwap@inwap% echo $path
/usr/home/inwap/bin /usr/home/inwap/bin.i386 /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin

I can run /usr/local/bin/tin on the iServer (inwap.best.vwh.net).
