none of the Japanese guys here are very technical.  Tell me exactly what
information we need to send/receive, and I'll have Cliff help me get it
through to OCN (although we're probably switching providers soon...)

As for the DNS - it's all built and ready to go.  Just edit
/etc/named.boot, and then have it point to where you're going to keep the
zone files (I usually use /var/named...) ... it might even be running
already.  If not, run c_turboservice, select 'Custom', and enable it.
