   It tossed inbound packets just fine (as witness by the fact that   
   I am replying to this message).  It's just when it scans out   
   echomail.  But, it looks like the utility I grabbed last night is   
   doing what it is supposed to do and messages from my Wildcat! 4.2   
   system is making into the WINS system normally.
