OK, that makes sense.  I thought it was misinterpreting something (as I'm
not running a physical system) or I needed a different QEMU invocation.

I did get networking up and running under QEMU.  After running PCNTPK after
boot, it worked fine:

C:\NET\FDNET\pcntpk int=0x60
C:\NET\FDNET\dhcp

At that point, everything worked fine TCP/IP-wise.  I think I'll add
something like "call C:\LOCAL.BAT" to :End in FDAUTO.BAT and then put my
local startup customizations there to avoid changing the dist FDAUTO.BAT
too much.

Thanks much!
