Is rhost() a front end to gethbyname()

[Alyce Faulstich]

I am a "returning" net reader after a leave of almost 2 years.  I seem to
remember some discussion about it being very difficult to replace the
battery of a 3b1.  I didn't pay much attention at the time, but since
I was also on leave from my 3b1 for almost a year (during which it was
powered off) I'm afraid that I will have to replace the battery.  I was
hoping that I would find answers on the net without having to ask any
questions, but the topic was probably exhausted long ago!  Please, would
someone jump-start my memory by letting me know what the 3b1 battery
issues are?
