Yes, I agree that a listening TCP PCB is a good thing. But what happens 
is; you first allocate a full PCB, then a listening PCB, and when the
connection occurs, again a full PCB.

Maybe there should be a way of allocating a listening PCB right away?
Just an idea, the current stuff works OK furterwise.
