With newer kernels, 2.31 and lower will not resolve domain names properly when
trying to connect via binkp.  However, if you use the IP address of the remote
binkp system instead, it will connect just fine.  I doubt Charles Cruden will
ever update Internet Rex past version 2.31.  There is a 2.67 beta available to
us beta testers, but I believe it suffers from the same illness in the linux
version.
