Can't I setup a hosts file for Open Transport in the OT TCP-IP panel?
What does that file do on my PowerMac?

Thank you, I really works! It's great.
By the way... Do you know how to install the packages system on my IIcx?
I added a line to ld.conf.whatever about some libraries in /usr/pkg/lib
but there is no directory named /usr/pkg. Somewhere else the manuals tell
/var/.../pkg. That's kind a strange. I can find the executables, but they
don't do anything.
Thanks,
Tobias
