--------------------------
	So far as I am aware DEC does not offer an Int 14h hook for external
terminal emulators. In MS-DOS Kermit I use the CTERM and LAT interfaces
directly to replace SETHOST with Kermit. This means that you could write an
Int 14h TSR to do what I did on one side and offer Int 14h on the other.
This TSR would need to do session managment so the host name could be
specified etc; I do that in Kermit's code.
