Annoyingly, /etc/resolv.conf is read when inetd starts.  So my plan to
swap in (from a notionally hidden directory) a unique version of that
file each time I dial one or the other ISP doesn't work.  I just put 3
entries in resolv.conf: one for each ISP plus a google DNS host.  I
guess I could kill -HUP inetd each time after the swap.  The swap
business works for sendmail to reference the right smarthost for the
current ISP.

No, not the worst.  Makes for badly leached topsoil, spectacular mud
time in spring and sometimes difficulty getting the hay made.  My very
first day in NS, in 1967, I was amazed that everybody was out making
hay on Aug. 10.  I asked a farmer and he said, "It's the first time
we've had the weather to do it."  Normally, we make hay in late June,
into early or mid July.
