I actually think I'm not even getting far enough to worry about the 
descriptors.  The server is not even getting a request from the CoCo.  The 
Coco hangs immediately when I try to access the dw drive, but clearly no 
communication with the server is actually taking place.  Something more 
fundamental is wrong, but what?
