I know this is not really an issue for comp.sources.games.bugs, but has anyone
out there found or created a reasonable, working simulation of sockets. I ask
this here because I am at a System V site (well actually its XENIX) and I have
been unable to compile any of the "great" games that have existed in net.world

This includes my two favorites, BSD Empire, and Galactic Bloodshed. GB in
particular has me down becasue I had it running here in pre-MUD days. There are
a great number of people up here that would really like to play the game. I
tell them to buy me a machine running BSD. :-)

Thus, has anyone in the System V world come up with a decent port of sockets?
I know at its lower levels they are tied in directly to the Internet hardware,
and into the kernel. I was wondering if anyone had created a workaround for
the needed upper layers?
