I used a DUN connectoid to access speakeasy via the modem pool in 
Foxboro, thus simulating an attempt to access my server from a hotel 200 
miles away, which is the situation that started all this.

Port 22 isn't blocked: I proved this by doing "telnet 
billhorne.homelinux.org 22', and I got an error saying 'no response from 
192.168.1.50'.

Sigh.

I then modified my hosts file. It works now.

Bill, who thinks that the memory may be the _third_ thing to go.
