I just got around to reading this list.

This device does not exist in Hercules.  There are a lot of reasons why
that is so, not the least of which is how the TCP socket interface
functions.

However, the TCPIP instruction allows for direct communication with an
operating system socket connection.  Your code will need to understand
the socket interface.  Using this mechanism you could communicate
literally with anything anyway you choose at the application layer.

You can use, for example, the FTP software supplied with TCPIP to
understand how to interact with the socket interface.
