To simplify things, I've shutdown OS/9 (which works fine) and am 
concentrating on OS/X.

In a related thread ("macosx last version network problem") was the 
suggestion to comment out the sheep-related lines in 
"/etc/mol/molrc.net". I shut down OS/X and made that change, then 
restarted OS/X. Still the same symptoms: I can ping and telnet and ftp, 
but can't ssh, scp, browse using a web browser (safari, mozilla), use 
email (Apple's Mail applet, Mozilla Mail, etc). I can use safari and 
mozilla to ftp to ftp.netscape.com (moz opens the site in the window; 
safari mounts a "drive" for the site).

It's like there's a firewall blocking outgoing traffic except on a few 
ports, but I'm not finding any such options via the OS/X gui, and I 
don't know what to look for in the CLI.
