I can just telnet to 192.168.1.1 like I do with send?
Could I also just telnet from one computer to run a program on the other 
computer?  How about telnetting via DOS without first dialing?  Using DOS 
as a dumb terminal?  It would be interesting to do wordprocessing on a DOS 
computer and then telnet to a linux computer that is online, to send mail 
with the document via linux.

Okay.  But I presume I would need a second person to play these games 
with, or are they all single-user?  I could not make sense of the BL1 
games, not being familiar with games.  I figured out freecell after I 
tried it in Windows first.
