DOSEMU does not pick up all packets

Hello.

Ethernet interface is a kind of not a
loop-back, why are you expecting it to
work that way?

Using dosnet dsn0 will give you much
more of a success with this I think.

Seems logical that, at least, it would be possible, given that it works the other way around (packets from DOSEMU gets picked up by the IPX tunnel).

Ok, I'll try it.

I experimented some more with this, since it seemed to be the right thing to do, the dosnet stuff is IP oriented after all, and shouldn't be necessary to achieve this, I would think. There's no end to what one can achieve with an all-nighter of source hacking, eh? After tons of experimenting and code-writing (and Coke drinking), it boiled down to a one-line change (of course :) to get it working. Here's the patch. I'd like to know if this could be applied or if that'd break something else?
