This one is implemented. There's just no NLSFUNC at the receiving end of
int2f/ax=1401.

We have some int2f/ah=8, ah=12, ah=13, and ah=16 still not implemented
(maybe some more, it's just that int2f is HUGE)
and from int21 the following are still missing:

4b05h   Set Execution State             active          5.00    planned
5d01h   Commit All Files                active          3.10    planned
5d02h   Close File by Name              active          3.10    planned
5d03h   Close All Files for Computer    active          3.10    planned
5d04h   Close All Files for Process     active          3.10    planned
5d05h   Get Open File List              active          3.10    planned
5d0ah   Set Extended Error              active          4.00    planned
+ the special delete/rename by wildcard feature from int21/ax=5d00
("server call")
+ a few DOS 7+ calls dealing with IOCTLs and access/creation times/dates.

and to work with certain multitaskers the kernel will need to guard
critical sections using int2a calls.

that's about it I think.
