Does this mean two people can play it on the same computer from different 
terminals?  Would you need to set up telnetd on one terminal?

We should probably make this kid a nullmodem adaptor for a modem cable so 
he and his brother can play with telnetting.

Does anyone happen to know where MS DOS 7.10a standalone has gotten to? 
The link to newdos.yginfo.net/dosware is broken and it forwards to a 
Chinese language site with a link to Microsoft.  The computer we are 
setting up will not work with loadlin and any other OS.  (Nor does the 
loop BL3 version seem to run Xvesa even with this OS, although the rest of 
it works - we might try bypassing system files).
