I'll do that, for sure.  For debugging purposes, ALL:ALL in 
/etc/hosts.allow should work, right?

NO, it's not.  Thanks for pointing that out...I think xterm should
be replaced with "tux" like this instead...can't believe
I missed that (argh!)

option domain-name "gamehendge.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.241.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.241.255;
use-host-decl-names on;
subnet 192.168.241.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        filename "/tftpdir/vmlinuz.xterm";
        host tux {
                hardware ethernet 08:00:2B:B7:F3:80;
                fixed-address tux.gamehendge.com;
                filename "/tftpdir/vmlinuz.xterm";
        }
}

(I guess "fixed-address tux.gamehendge.com;" is the same as 
fixed-address 192.168.241.3;", as long as it is mapped that
way in /etc/hosts.)
