Ubuntu Linux

Yes, pretty much everything except tw2002.

That's nice.

No.

Microsoft has an alternate API call that seems to allow working around the LSPs by exporting additional state (WSADuplicateSocket(...)), but of course that isn't going to be compliant with the DOOR32.sys spec that *nix systems [presumably] work just fine with?

no idea.
