Seems like you are trying to find complex solutions for simple problems.


For me it's a simple solution to a simple problem; Tim is the one doing all
the hard work. :)

Besides, if complexity scared me I would have picked a different hobby.



Wouldn't it be easier to just write some small piece of software that
accepts incoming connections on the telnet port, and can let you connect to
other things without having to emulate a whole DECserver?


Meh. I like the DECserver interface and I only need LAT. And as you said,
the Linux LAT isn't perfect.


I used DECservers in the past and want to use them again. It would just
make things feel right when I'm playing.
