Actually, I simply tried telnet, and:

telnet www.pdos.org 80

followed by:

GET /index.htm HTTP/1.0
Host: www.pdos.org
<blank line here, so just hit enter>

worked fine, got me my page, and did indeed disconnect.

And it occurred to me that since I have control of
my own C library (PDPCLIB), I would make the above
work with fopen("tcp://www.pdos.org:80", "r+");
(probably don't want binary for this - but the
application can make that choice)

And then it's up to my C code (in PDPCLIB, not the
app), to interpret that "tcp://" and then do whatever
OS/2 calls are required to make a connection.

That sounds neat to me.

Or am I missing something?

And use the same syntax as qemu for the filename?

-serial tcp:news.eternal-september.org:119

Thoughts?

Thanks. Paul.
