Actually, I had to _differentiate_ my ethernet and SLIP interface IP addresses  
in order to make -NXHost work (and I did get it to work long enough to decide  
not to use it at all).  The key was in a message from Felix_A_Lugo@ATT.COM that  
I had saved away long before installing SLIP.

My problem was that I had assigned my machine name, sounds, to the local end of  
the SLIP interface (each SLIP interface has a local and remote IP address, you  
know).  After following Felix's suggestion to modify the routing tables so that  
both machines knew how to reach each other's en0 interface (not merely the SLIP  
interface), -NXHost would work.

I would get into the details, but trust me - it ain't worth it.
