   Thanks for the link.  I'll check them out.  As far as I know the biggest   
   difference is that the TWGS (TradeWars Game Server) exposes it's self on port   
   23 and listens for connections.  So it should be possible.  As for other door   
   games I'm not sure how to make those work nicely.   
      
   On a brighter note I did get TW2002 working in my dosemu.  Turns out I needed   
   the DPMI version.  If anyone wants to play just connect up and from the main   
   menu press D for doors and T for TradeWars2002.  If you have any issues please   
   email me either on my board or at stephen.atkins@gmail.com.  I've had issues   
   sometimes where the doors work today but tomorrow they don't.  Can't always   
   explain it and it's a giant pain.
