    This board is not working right. I now can make it all the way to the
    card games. When I hit #2 and enter or nothing, it goes back to the
    card game list.

    It's not the board. It is the server it is running on and it is
    failing. I am in the process of getting another server but that takes
    money and time. At my expense, but I need the time to get this done and
    of course money. So hopefully I can get something done in the next 30
    days before the games are no longer available.

    What you do not know is that Winserver, which drives wildcat actually
    runs on a Windows 10 computer. But because of the way Microsoft changed
    things up, there no longer a virtual driver I can use to run the 16bit
    games via telnet. The games actually reside on a Windows Server 2003
    machine and that is the machine giving problems. If you actually telnet
    to rdfig.net:1023 (port 1023), all run fine but the games do not run at
    all becuase of changes my Microsoft.

    All the Microsoft Windows Operating system like XP, Windows Server
    2003, etc are no longer supported by them and it is difficult to
    maintain them.

    So in short the board is configured correctly just the machine its on is ancient and failing and looking for a suitable replacement is proving difficult.

    Sorry for your bad experience but for now it is the best I can do for
    now.

    I'll keep you posted on my progress. I see you logged on the PCBoard
    bbs and played the Solitaire Card game. I am active there also.
