About mTCP: I will add that I, on my side, am still keeping hope for a 32bit-aware mTCP in some future, so I could port my DJGPP apps to mTCP. Mike once mentionned that this might happen (but of course he could have changed his mind, for many reasons, none of which anyone could blame him for). But if that's true that mTCP will be no longer developed, then it does look like we will have to stick to Watt32 for yet another decade or two.
About 16bit FDNPKG: best of luck to you, Sparky!
