So far I've only done GvE's MSGAPI & timEd for the GitHub code.

I have no time to look at NetMgr, or WIMM.

The SVN version of NetMgr builds in Linux. It uses XMSGAPI for *.msg.

Though I've only run it a handful of times so it could be quite buggy.

I wasn't aware of that.

Evidently there is gigonode.zip in the original net100.zip archive from 1996.
It includes source code for DOS & OS/2.

I'll import it into the SVN & Github repo when I get a chance.

I can't help you much if it breaks, but you can try it.

The Husky Project has lxtrack which they describe as a NetMgr replacement. It
may work well but I've never used it.
