Hi, perfect! Good news! So, in the future, I could modify this RLoader DOS game browser library to include some IRC chat with chatbot and people: https://github.com/marco-sacchi/RLoader ...it could solve as a basis for DOS internet communication for retro gamers. Just show how many gamers online in the past 1 hour and option to ping someone for online play. Then there would be some additional setup required for IPX bridge over TCP/IP (use some modern machine on LAN or Raspberry Pi) and then it would be possible to start and communicate some online play on 386DX and 486DX and up (Doom, Duke, Warcraft, Need For Speed, Carmageddon). Perhaps also Serial link games over TCP/IP like Retaliator. I have this idea in my mind for the last few months.
The game browser and IRC would act as an entrypoint to find people and negotiate. Because currently they are spread in different timezones in local Facebook groups and it is difficult to get the timing right with people. They often read the message late and after 1 hour nobody play anymore.
