I had to hack on TAIL.ASM to get the version 8 one to work; seems it was
assuming that IBMTOKEN.ASM (or any other packet driver, for that matter)
needed a qualified HARDWARE interrupt number, and had parsed it from the
command line (thus the confusing error about int_no needing to be between
2 and 15 when you know the SOFTWARE interrupt should be between 0x60 and
0x67).

(PS -- I'll just bet this is the problem with IPXPKT and the localtkl
driver as well)
