Network interface is as you describe... I'm presently running on dial-up, feel like I've read
just about all there is to read about Postfix on dial-up online... want to be able to 
send local mail locally, on the off chance that I ever give anyone else an account. *g*

Need? I suppose it's not a need... more like my stubbornness insisting that there must
be a way to get it to work. And a vain desire to want my shell prompt at bootup say
something other than "login to localhost" *chuckles wryly at herself*
