    I just ran through the labs to see how everyone is doing.

    Some tips:

     - Be sure to read the assignment statement fully! There are some
       hints, such as the mention of broadcasting (use it like this:
         sendPkt(Fishnet::BroadcastAddress, [...])
       ) that are crucial for finishing the assignment.

     - The changed fishnet includes a warning that's easy to miss. The
       output from --help for the "emulate" command has now this:
         emulate LOCALPORT HOST:PORT register LOCALPORT at trawler at HOST:PORT
                                      to run with other nodes
                                      (example: HOST is 'attu1', not 'localhost')
       Be sure to note the example! When you run the emulator on one of the
       attus, be sure to run it with the "attux" hostname and not with
       localhost, or you will be mysteriously unable to get any packets
       sent.
