[MiNT] Success, finally

[Jim DeClercq <jimd@panix.com>]

Hello, all

A memory board losing contact does an amazing amount of damage to 
a TT030, including making the hard drive electronics not work any 
more. And, due to another problem I have yet to solve, maybe 
having to do with insufficient termination current to SCSI 
terminators, did not have a working backup.

Simply put, usepeerdns did not produce a working nameserver. It 
was not until I realized that there are three resolv.conf files 
in /etc, and made them all read

domain isp.com
nameserver 209.244.0.3
nameserver 209.244.0.4

and finally I could telnet to a name, not just to a dotted quad 
address. Before making all three files read the same, and making 
domainname easymint, I got redirected to the owner of those two 
nameservers, according to nslookup, which worked all along.

Now to make another backup.

Jim
