don't think so, though it's hard to know, having fumbled
around so much.

i do believe, that at one time, i tried to scp into
192.168.0.100 (from 103), and failed, though i was able to
ssh there.  do i disremember?  hard to tell, now.

at any rate, i do know that sshd was not running on
192.168.0.103 in the beginning, but is now, and that the
problem in that direction has now been resolved.  the
problem in the other direction has also been resolved,
though i don't remember having gone through the installation
of sshd on 192.168.0.100.  i suppose i should write things
down, but in semi panic/grumble mode the fingers fly too
fast.

thanks for your input.
