eureka :P

  I found the tcp4u fix that Kat had posted back in July, I am now able 
to connect to the server.

  Now, to figure out how to log on!

Ray, you really should post an update of eutcp4u, with the needed fixes, 
would save some trouble :)
I haven't looked into it, but perhaps it's a similar problem with 
eulibnet, I wasn't able to connect with that one either.

here is Kat's fix..

I found two bugs in tcp4u:

line 505 in function tcp4u_connect() 
connect_socket should be an atom, it goes outside the range of integers

lines:
495:     port_addr = allocate(2)
496:     poke(port_addr, port)

make them into:

port_addr = allocate(4)
poke4(port_addr,port)

That should be enough to get started. I don't have a gui yet, but that's 
not 
really on the list of things to do. Of course, until last nite, i wasn't 
going to 

write an irc client either.......
