 OK, I've got a 5 port hub which is connected to a mix of OpenBSD and
Linux boxen (network is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0), and the Debian box
was connected to that as 192.168.0.5/255.255.255.0. Most machines are
running 3Com 509 NICs.

The route info looked OK, but I guess it really isn't. It'll be a couple
of days before I fire the machine up again - I've only got one monitor
and lots of machines, and not having network access to one of them is a
pain in the behind.
 It should work :-)

 I know that installing OpenSSH is a piece of cake, I'm just surprised
that it isn't installed as standard.

 Cheers.

 Baz.
