Humm..interesting..

Sounds like a good job for UDP. Unless someone has a NT server with full
time internet connection that they will let us use to find opponents to play
and to keep "offical" score I guess. UDP would be used after that in the
"clients" to pass information.

Once WSAAsyncSelect() and UDP is working it would be a go as far as the
winsock library is concerned.
