I haven't tried Crawl (I assume you mean Stone Soup?), but I have tried
Nethack, about 30 different builds of Rogue/Nethack variants for Windows.
Either running through Synchronet's DOSXTRN or built in FOSSIL, NETFOSS, etc.

I'll give Crawl a try next opportunity, see if it does something different.

MA> dgamelaunch is not listening to port 2323?
I can connect with any telnet client to telnet://shodan.synchro.net:2323, I'm
running a similar setup as nethack.alt.org which is basically dgamelaunch which
lets you run nethack or similar roguelikes over telnet. For some reason dispite
being a pretty simple console game, you can't just run nethack/win through a
FOSSIL frontend like NETFOSS. I'm sure if I had time to delve into the nethack
code I could figure out why...

I figure if someone took the time to write a nice frontend for roguelikes, why
not use it? That was I can use it as a frontend to access several different
crawlers.

Problem is that for some reason *telgate.js won't connect. It won't connect to
my server or remote servers like the one setup at nethack.alt.org.

I can connect to other telnetable BBSs, MUDs, or other various servers, but not
to dgamelaunch servers.

Digital Man mentioned something about the program needing some fixes. Started a
thread here to get his attention since I'm not the greatest coder.

MA> Port 2323 is blocked by firewall/not configured in router?
It's setup, seems to work fine, I used PuTTY and SyncTerm to connect from the
office to my home computer, no problems.
