[comp.os.os9] Internet info request

I am having some trouble working with the internet routines on my os9
system.  Part of the problem is that I am not especialy adept on
any system.

a)  are there some os9 variants around for simple utilites like ping,
finger, and other such things?

b) can os9 be coaxed into using a nameserver?

c) I am having some problems getting to the os9 from outside the local
domain.  This is odd because the os9 can connect (telnet or ftp) to any
valid inet address I give it, but nothing outside the local domain can
ping, telnet or ftp to the os9.  Is there something I'm missing in my
setup?

a and b are only annoyances.... I'm more interested in getting
some help with c.
