Great, thanks.

I'm running my experiments against the latest patch + the NET package.

(So far) the only thing broken in the 1.2.37 version of the NET package is
that it calls comm_new with the wrong argments in a couple of places.

Though I've only tested the listening for a connection so far, so there
may be other bugs in it that I've yet to run up against.

Oh, and I found a possible bug/feature with p3 & experimental, if
gethostname() will not resolve (either via /etc/hosts or DNS), the driver
won't start up. (Though this maybe intentional and/or have been discussed
before). Mainly my own fault for not putting the hostname in /etc/hosts ;)
