I was able to set up dictd and use a local copy of the GNU CIDE project 
(Collaborative International Dictionary of English), which took a little 
C++ hackin' but now works really well.  I was also able to toss in 
dictionaries to/from French, Irish, and even Latin (heh) just for  kicks.

It's even gotten me in the habit of using it partially as a thesaurus 
sometimes too...all without making the modem dial up all the time. :) 
 (Yeah, I know I could just get off my duff and look it up in a paper one.)
