Maybe Tolstoy was onto something there.  

I can connect to the server's telnetd.  I made all the usual entries in
/etc/services and I deleted /etc/hosts.allow.  (The RH manual says lack of
hosts.allow means all hosts are allowed.  That's confirmed by telnetd
working.)  I fussed with /etc/hosts, because some time ago Michael Peppler
mentioned that Linux hosts often have faulty domain notions, that Sybase
doesn't like: 

$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               sandbox.schemamania.org sandbox
localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.12 sandbox.schemamania.org

But still no joy.  Any suggestions?  Is running through a complete Sybase
reinstall necessary or even recommended?  I should think one could backup
and restore an installation, but then I should have thunk what I did
woulda worked.  Or is there a magic switch I overlooked?  As you can
probably tell, I'm not a Linuxhead.  I run it to run Sybase.  

Many thanks,
