Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use sockets over *both* IPX/SPX &
TCP/IP? So I guess the thing to do would be to write a wrapper for
winsock.dll. Although, sockets might be implemented differently in each
protocol...

Jesus, aren't you working on one?

As for TCP/IP, you could play over the internet, a LAN, dialup... just as
long as everyone's running the protocol & has their own IP address. That
would be your better bet :)
