Hi.  For those in a similar bind, I thought I'd post how I got Emacs3.0
running on my standalone NeXT.  (Remember, I have a standalone with
boot loaded SLIP daemon; but the SLIP line is brought up/down manually.)
The problem was that, to make use of SLIP, I set my hostname to "mccube".
I thought that meant putting "mccube" in /etc/hostconfig and /etc/hosts
with my domain (tucson.az.us) in /etc/resolv.conf. (The INETADDR entry
in hostconfig would be NeXT's default value.)  As SLIP has it's own
config file, these changes in /etc seemed enough.  Not so.  What I needed
to do (at least for Emacs - and maybe others?) was to define "mccube"
using HostManager (domain is "/", IP address = NeXT's default value).
Pretty easy.  Now Emacs3.0 works fine.

Thanks to all who sent advice.  "netters" are a great resource.
