The API is defined (it's just BSD sockets but done via an OSWord control
block), and implemented in my current development version. I wrote an NTP
client in BASIC to get the time and set my clock.

There are 2 loose ends, one to implement the equivalent of select() and one
to remove a limitation I imposed on streaming to TCP connections. It's made
it back near the top of my todo list, but last weekend I did some plastering
instead,
