   -> This board is not working right.  I now can make it all the way to the   
   -> card games.  When I hit #2 and enter or nothing, it goes back to the   
   -> card game list.

   It's not the board.  It is the server it is running on and it is   
   failing.  I am in the process of getting another server but that takes   
   money and time.  At my expense, but I need the time to get this done and   
   of course money.  So hopefully I can get something done in the next 30   
   days before the games are no longer available.    
      
   What you do not know is that Winserver, which drives wildcat actually   
   runs on a Windows 10 computer.  But because of the way Microsoft changed   
   things up, there no longer a virtual driver I can use to run the 16bit   
   games via telnet.  The games actually reside on a Windows Server 2003   
   machine and that is the machine giving problems.  If you actually telnet   
   to rdfig.net:1023  (port 1023), all run fine but the games do not run at   
   all becuase of changes my Microsoft.     
      
   All the Microsoft Windows Operating system like XP, Windows Server   
   2003, etc are no longer supported by them and it is difficult to   
   maintain them.   
      
   So in short the board is configured correctly just the machine its on is   
   ancient and failing and looking for a suitable replacement is proving   
   difficult.   
      
   Sorry for your bad experience but for now it is the best I can do for   
   now.   
      
   I'll keep you posted on my progress.  I see you logged on the PCBoard   
   bbs and played the Solitaire Card game.   I am active there also.
