I seem to have solved my previous problems setting up my coda server.
(I uninstalled everything, did a brainwipe on the /vicepa partition,
deleted /usr/coda, and started over from scratch.   The second time
things went better.)

I have a few questions:
 (1) venus, running on my laptop, is chewing up 20megabytes of virtual
     memory.   (I think I gave it an 80MB cache.)  The laptop is
     connected via modem to the server.  Is there something
     I should be doing differently to keep the VM size down?
 (2) My other machine is the fileserver.    It has a venus running on
     it so that I can see /coda.   I have seen strange things there:
     The performance is quite low, and I got some strange errors when
     I tried to create a cvs sandbox in my coda partition.   Should I
     not be using venus on my fileserver?  (I haven't yet tried venus on
     another machine on the same LAN.)
