   Any thoughts of using Hermes II?  I know it's old but I've got the unreleased   
   3.5.11 version up and running via TCP and it seems to be pretty stable in   
   OS9.  Same issue with the door games though - I can only get two to work   
   (Leech and Blackjack Pro).     
   Not sure, but maybe there would be a way to connect to the game servers using   
   a Python external or if you're handy with THINK Pascal...
