I'm pretty sure I've seen remote=203.216.12.x, but it would be a long
time ago.  I've only seen hiperarc2-ariake recently on my own logins.

VT suffered from a thinko, that's all.  I don't know where TL got
that IP number from, though, but he didn't identify it as a NS.

It is easy to confuse gateways with *servers, and I have seen setups
where the terminal server did name service too, but only once and
billions and billions of years ago (before Anakin Skywalker was born).
