Melville doesn't do anything like that (it assumes the driver
has set up the port, since that's what vanilla DGD does) so
if the net package requires this to be done by the mudlib,
then Melville ain't doing it. And that's consistent with the
report that the (patched) kernel lib listens on port 6047 but
Melville doesn't do so.

I would give pretty good odds that this is the problem.
