The pods do TCP/IP over Ethernet (WATTCP + NetNub real-mode server;
ops console is master, pushes mission eggs to pods over TCP). Pod is a
static host on an isolated 200.0.0.0/24 LAN (200.0.0.113, console
200.0.0.1); -egg is the dev bypass of this path. Fork already has NE2000
+ pcap/slirp backends; since the emulated card is NE2000 not PCI Lance we
skip the Novell ODI chain and load a Crynwr NE2000 packet driver directly.
NET-NOTES.md has the full architecture + milestone plan (headline goal:
host-side stand-in console pushes an egg over the wire, no -egg bypass).
