Michael, 

Smooch!

That was it.  The renegade line in /etc/hosts was:

127.0.0.1 sandbox

Deleted and connected.  

Thanks also to Dave, Brian, and Christopher.  The hosts.allow was also
in the way; I found my fingerprints all over the file to allow myself
ftp etc.  NetBSD (what I normally use) doesn't install that way.  

Now, on to something (perhaps) useful.  

Regards,
