It compiled fine and the configure part ran nicely on my Raspberry Pi 4 
with Raspbian and 8GB of memory. I am now going to read the docs :-) and 
see where I can get the necessary ROM files.

Question: is libpcap really necessary or can the NIC just be on a host 
tap device like all my simh VAX emulators?
