Hi, I had an idea for a telnet server that could spawn a new dosbox session for each incomming socket. The server could pass the port and file descriptor to the new dosbox session. Right now if I open two dosbox sessions on the same port I get an error that the port is in use. (obviously, since binding the listening port puts a lock on it) So, rather than dosbox trying to open a listening port, it could just connect using the file descriptor.
I think it could be done, but dosbox it would need some new config options to tell it to share ports, and to get the FD from command line instead of creating a new one.
Does this sound like something that could be useful to everyone?
