   Err, huh?  No, I didn't post that link.  I posted a reply to it saying that I   
   didn't think the converter works :(

   I'm not sure I follow?   The setup you originally described said your setup is   
   16bit door -> custom 32bit telnet program -> GameSrv.  If you're writing a   
   32bit telnet program, you'd be using sockets...   
      
   The setup I described simplifies it a bit, basically you'd change that 32bit   
   telnet program into a client+server that connects to itself on localhost, and   
   then launches the 32bit door... this would eliminate the need for GameSrv, and   
   also wouldn't need to run constantly (hence much more efficient)...
