This sounds like an interesting project, and I'm kind of interested in it.
But I don't know anything about PPP, SLIP, TCP/IP and stuff, (except that
they are protocols used on the internet, and in intranets, and stuff), so
I'd need to pick up a load of information on this. Also would it need to
contain (I suppose it should) a TCP/IP socket driver for DOS, or is there
one (I know there is, but where) that is good enough already? (And FREE
ofcourse)?

Using a portable graphics library for this would also probably be a good
idea, don't you think? Now my question is, which is the best really? It
should be portable before everything else I think, (ofcourse it should be
bug free, but that applies to all programs/libraries)´. JLIB is portable,
but are there better alternatives perhaps? I've never used GRX, is it good?
Allegro ofcourse exists, but isn't that better for games like programming?
