Subject: Beeb Networking - and another thing

I have been working on some updates to AUND every now and then over the 
last few years.  I have added write support, and fixed up the printserver
code.  I have used BeebEm and rpcemu with it.  I even threw in an embryonic
teletext server.  I must get my code tidied up and put onto gitorious, or
something.

I can't imagine it would be much fun to use it over the internet with a BBC
B, things like *EXEC read one byte at a time.  A Master may be OK, though.

IIRC, These calls are available in a NetFS patch available with the advanced 
level 4 fileserver (NetFS 6, possibly).  I could not find them in the RISC
OS 5 source.  Is there any documentation for the 32 bit calls anywhere? 
I reverse engineered them and put some code into my aund, and things seem
to work.

I haven't implemented these, as I don't have anything to test with.
