DOS ain't dead

So I needed to make a change to PDPCLIB to deal
with the blocking issue.

And another complication is that HX apparently
uses the underlying DOS capabilities, so although
opening COM1: works on Windows 2000, it doesn't
work on HX (and perhaps not on Windows 95 either).

So I put in a PDPCLIB change to remove the ":" and
that works on both systems.

Next thing I'm planning on doing is using the
mainframe, which uses the underlying Windows
(now HX) system, to connect to a BBS using the
Wazoo method.

Existing BBSes all seem to have a telnet layer
(that wasn't previously the case under dial-up
modem), so I will run my own BBS under PDOS/386
to test.
