This did, in fact, make those errors go away.  Unsurprisingly, I now have
an exciting, new batch of errors to report.

starting network
add host host12: gateway localhost
writing to routing socket: Invalid argument
add net : Invalid argument

And telnet still has no route to remote hosts.  I used the same gateway
address from the old MacTCP settings, although it's possible that I
didn't put it everywhere that I should have.  Hum.

Isn't there some way to make all of this more obvious to set up?  Or would
that be against the spirit of the thing?  Am I cheating on some sort of
Unix club initiation rite?  "If he can't make telnet work we don't want
the little spiker."
