On some of the local BBS's you can pickup these gems:

TREK24 (at least that's the way it was posted on my box)
-	multi-user graphics startrek program.  A bit different than the regular
	trek games since you will control many crafts rather than just one
	craft.

TRADEWAR
-	A space game that allows for many users to dominate the universe. You
	have a cargo ship with fighters and you trade between planets for 
	points and you can by fighters (to kill off the compitition) and 
	planets (to stash your booty (sp?)).  Users get general point values
	and are limited to the number of moves in order to keep someone from
	playing for 80 hours and get everything.  

	Standard text game.  BBS type support.

I'll see if I can encode these soon and post them in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
