Thanks, James and Hugo. The delay, Hugo, was while I tried to discover how to
start sshd. James's method worked immediately and I can now access dunhurst,
even on PCLinuxOS, from Tux.

The other way still times out, but sadly I have temporarily run out of time so
shall have to come back to that later. But into dunhurst was the way for
which I had an immediate use, and that is now working.

All I have to do now, is get the rest of the network talking to each other...
And in both directions. :-(
