This problem is the same one that people have been discussing w.r.t.
rendering. If you have renamed your standalone next, e.g. with the
Local... panel in HostManager.app, you must add an appropriate alias,
which you can do by Opening localhost in HostManager.app. I don't know
if that still holds with SLIP, but for a purely standalone NeXT this works.
