So for fun I figured I'd try to write a version of MRC that would work for my BBS, which is DOS based QuickBBS and using the MSLANMAN TCPIP stack. I found an archive that had a python client, server and MPL example. So I've managed to cobble something together that can generally talk to the server at the protocol level. I figure I'll flush it out as a simple DOS client first and then move it over to OpenDoors as a BBS door. If I can find the netware TCP SDK I may compile a version for that stack as well. I suppose doing a pure pkt driver one as well is likely to follow. I guess the sky is the limit in this DOS eat DOS world. :D
