Currently when PDOS/3x0 boots it uses CCWs
to read/write from a 3215 which can be connected
via telnet.
After a lot of thought I realized that PDOS/3x0
could be written so that right from the start,
instead of using CCWs, it could make TCP/IP
calls, where TCP/IP is basically provided by
the BIOS (ie a special SVC 120 call).
This would in turn be useful for implementing
file transfer as I could do non-blocking reads.
This could all be driven by a setting in
config.sys (ie a copy of hercules.cnf).
