Well, I ran the Configure utility once again and was unable to obtain a 
working network once again.

The timed and sendmail programs keep saying that they cannot find my 
hostname: dingBAT.netbsd.home.

And of course when rc.net netstart run, they say 
dingBAT.netbsd.home: Bad value.

domainname returns a blank -- of course when I create /etc/defaultdomain, 
it reports whatever is there.
hostname returns dingBAT.netbsd.home.

Please let me know which files I need to attach for someone to offer me 
assistance in configuring my system so that I can _finally_ use it to 
connect to my internet provider using PPP.  I have not even tried to use 
PPP so I don't even know if that works!  But, I can scrounge around and 
get a pppd from somewhere, though.

Any help (here or private email) will be greatly appreciated and will go 
into my log to be later posted as a 'Getting Started with NetBSD: a 
novice's guide.'

Thanks.
