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.
