	I want to page to an arbitrary AmigaDOG device.

	For example, an NFS running under DNet  (heh heh, just kidding :-))

	While we all sneer at AmigaDOS I would like to point out that at
the moment we are doing things on a whim that take other people (.. other
computers) months and years to accomplish.  We blithly talk about "oh, an
NFS here, RAM disk there" as if such things were easy to integrate into
the system.

	Which they are on the Amiga.  Whatever VM goodies get implemented,
one should remember that we have a good thing here in DOS even if we like to
call it more colorful names.

	It took me no more than 11 hours to get a pretty-much-working NFS
under DNet.... to the point where I can now 1> CD into a remote directory on
a UNIX machine at berkeley and run an Amiga compatible binary from it (takes
a while to load over 2400 baud, but it works!).
