A year or so ago I spent a couple of weeks disassembling the DWANGO executables, with the idea of writing a new DWANGO server. It would then be possible to run DWANGO/Vanilla Doom in DOSbox and play over the Internet using DOSbox's modem emulation.
I got it to the point where you could "dial up", log in successfully, the lobby would come up and you could write messages that would be echoed back to you. Unfortunately the SSD on my netbook died and I lost the lot of it.
Any postmortem update on this noble effort?
If we had access to the lobby and the other menus, maybe DWANGO could be recreated in telnet using modern, open source BBS software.
Nevermind the little potential use in this day and age, how cool would that be for launching Chocolate Doom? :)
