Int 7A  - Novell Netware - Ipx Driver - Open Socket                        [N]

   BX = 0000h
   AL = socket longevity
       00h open until close or terminate
       FFh open until close
   DX = socket number (high byte in DL)
       0000h dynamic allocation
       else  socket to open (see below)

Return: AL = return code
       00h success
       DX = socket number
       FEh socket table full

     programs should normally use AL=00h
   IPX can be configured to support up to 150 open sockets on a
     workstation, and defaults to 20
   this function is supported by Advanced NetWare 1.02+
