[rescue] Printing to the 'net

[Ken Hansen]

Oh Bill, I can use whatever I want, it just gets goofy if I want to hook up
to a public network!

BTW, my completely informal testing shows that (on this Win98 laptop) any
address of the form 127.x.x.x (127.0.0.1, 127.0.1.222, etc) are loopback
addresses.
