Ah its mugins that uses the extra client/server system.
Anyone tested it over network bridges ?

Unsure about CAVE, I have a minimal econet setup at the moment, as in only
one working station and a FS.



The network code for cave is in "MC" its that big block of assembler in

pull it to fiddle with later anyway.
