This function allocates a TCP stream, and does a passive open (i.e., wait for the other side to make the connection) to the specified destination. It returns immediately. TCPState can be used to discover when the connection has completed (if ever).
NOTE: You MUST call TCPRelease to free up the buffers associated with the connection before exiting HyperCard. If you don't do this, strange and mysterious crashes will occur after you've quit HyperCard.
