That would be great if you have a means to contact Wayne and if he would be
ok with releasing the network source code - along with the network update
source code.

Yes, I just found out about the reverse engineering project about 2-3 weeks
ago.  It is almost ready for prime time, too.  It is called NetX.  It is a
combination of the WWIV network tossing software (that was reverse
engineered) and WINS (the latest WWIV network transfer method).

Having the original NETxx software source would certainly allow for the
ability to make sure we didn't miss any of the message types and various
options.
