Win98? Maybe I'm just a genius at keeping things going. ;-)

Thanks for the zmud link, I used zmud a bit way back, can't seem to find my old copy. Actually I think I used v4 which stopped working after a year or two. Still got some map files from 2000 or so.

Turns out I forgot that the client needs a 4th thing:

4) Must be fully VT100 emulation capable including all screen positioning commands.

That's a tricky one. The old zmud couldn't do it, wintin95 could not, JMC neither. Wintin.net can though and as a huge bonus the alias format is almost identical to Powtty's so I could copy and tweak and almost all worked.
