[omniORB] Echo invokes dialer

[Jim Redman]

I'll add another data point though I'm not sure that it adds value. 

Omninames does appear to work correctly on an NT machine with two ethernet
cards. I have a machine with a 10base and a 100base ethernet card but with
no dial-up.  It's not routing through the machine. I've been mainly working
locally and I'm not sure that I've tested interoperability that requires
network packets out on the wire on that machine.
