Paul, man you are good. Everything as yours except no
inetd in /etc/init.d. Installed it and apt installed 
inetutils-inetd instead of the virtual package. When I
started it and entered http://localhost:901/ in
mozilla, swat was accessed. Bet cups works from
localhost now also. BTW, I've had to add a slew of
packages since installing Dapper that wasn't
autoinstalled with the distro. Maybe I should have
left the original Ubuntu install in place with
kubuntu.desktop instead of a new install with kubuntu
Dapper. Seems like the original Ubuntu install had
more in it. Anyway thanks much for the guick solution
to the swat issue.
