Sorry to be ambiguous. I was using Anarchie (Mac ftp client) that can 
be made to fetch things via http and just told it to go to 
http://192.168.0.1:8080 which resulted in the odd transcript entry. 
Telnet was also originally from a Mac and nothing echoed, but when I 
do it from the linux box, it does say it's connected, but won't do 
anything.

Nothing else was listening and I had previously tried other port assignments.

Me too. To clarify, 2 processes are launched initially as expected, 
but 3 more pop up as soon as I try to access Zope from a browser and 
I've gotten yet another one to appear on a second attempt (but one of 
the bunch is always a zombie by then). Testing further just a minute 
ago, I find that the server machine is going into kernel panic when 
the browser tries to connect, so I suppose that there is something 
very sideways that may not even be related to Zope. I've got another 
linux box that I can try this stuff on, so I think that I'll resume 
my efforts there to see if this whole mess is just some kind of 
environmental thing. Thanks for your help and I'll let you know if I 
figure it out.
