Turns out this was solved by entering

/mnt/cdrom	erie.rephil.org (ro)

or 

/mnt/cdrom	*.rephil.org (ro)

in /etc/exports.  I don't think it likes addresses -- it wants host/domain
names.  I thought that * would work, but I think that if it does, it
doesn't span dots -- you'd have to put *.*.*

Nothing like debugging punctuation to get you in the zone...

Thanks to all repliers.

Next question:  Anyone have recommendations on a PCMCIA 10baseT card?

Life is complex:
It has real and imaginary components.
