That's more or less right. qemu makes userspace sockets to connect to
whereever, just like any other application. It doesn't let you send raw
ethernet frames out (or even raw packets); you'd need to be superuser
for that.

Ahh. I misunderstood. I'm guessing it's a bug in the video bios for
qemu's "virtual video card". If it were linux as your host, setting
SoftwareCursor would no doubt fix the problem, so I guess you can
either:
- Find the Windows NT equivalent of SoftwareCursor
- Get another video bios (I think there's a few that work)
- Get a video driver for Windows NT that plays nice with the vga bios
you have.
HTH,
James.
