Sorry, forgot to report back on that.  I think I'm right in using port 
100?

telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1....
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.

I thought maybe it was a firewall issue, but although iptables is
