Old 2500 for OOB - Not honouring hosts?

Hi,

Picked up an old 2509 from ebay for OOB use, and it is accepting "host" commands, but not able to resolve them?

(config)#ip host test 2008 192.168.2.1

#telnet test
Translating "test"
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address

192.168.2.1 is setup on loop0:

#sh ip route 192.168.2.1
Routing entry for 192.168.2.1/32
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected)
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via Loopback0
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

tried with no ip domain-lookup and also with ip domain-lookup - Still no joy

telneting to 192.168.2.1 2008 works as expected.

It's running a very old version of ios

but all the ios versions available for 2509's  on cisco site require more flash

Any help is greatly appreciated.
