Silly me -- the global's already there, I created it -- 'offline' is
just the ticket.  This means that writefd() would look at 'offline' and,
if true, return before writing to the net (but after writing to the
batch file).  Much simpler than the /dev/null silliness I'm using right
now -- it's amazing what a little sleep can do... ;-)

I'll rehack this way and repost.
