Int 61 Fn 54 - PC/tcp Kernel V2.05+ - "nm_res_name" - Resolve Host Name [N]
AH = 54h
CX = size of destination buffer
DS:DX -> ASCIZ host name (max 127 chars)
ES:DI -> destination buffer or 0000h:0000h
Return: CF clear if successful
DX:AX -> IP address of host
destination buffer filled with canonical host name
CF set on error
AX = error code (see INT 61"PC/TCP")
Note: this function uses all configured methods in turn to resolve the
name (numerical, then host table, then DNS, then IEN116)
BUG: the SLIP kernel for v2.05 bounds-checks the wrong register, so values
greater than 54h in AH may crash the system. Other kernels may have
this bug as well; it has been fixed in the v2.2 SLIPDRV kernel.
