That explains the export command I saw in one of the 
start-up scripts, problem is that when I type export
it can't find it!
Do you know where export is located (and how can I 
search for a given file, is there a command I can
use).

Also, why can I not telnet into the Linux box from 
the Win2000 PC.  I can ping, i.e. all network settings
are correct, but when telneting I get a 'connection
refused' message. 
Any ideas?
