Ah, good. No problem for me, then.

Okay, can anyone suggest why Appletalk(Mac/IP) and PPP are the only
options for TCP/IP in my MOL? And more importantly, how I can correct
that. I seem to recall in the archives someone mentioning problems
sharing the airport connection with Mol, though here at work, I'm on
ethernet.

I think I just installed 0.9.63, the latest in Debian testing.

Sadly, Networking is not one of the docs available in the debian
package.
