WG DOS telnet lag fix?

Something I just thought of...

I've been dealing for years with a workaround for DOS WG's telnet lag bug. I know I've got it on 1.01, and I think 2.0 may've been affected? It's the whole SackOpts registry thing with Window's networking and all that. You can change a reg option to make it not laggy and I'm running a simple telnet proxy on a 'fixed' machine. Anyway.

What I want to know is was there ever a fix released for this? My telnet proxy will only handle 30 users and while it's been a very long time since that's been an issue, it's still something that's kind of bugging me.

I remember reading a few days ago that somebody had put together a replacement telnet server but I can't for the life of me find the thread. Is that WG3/NT only?

Thanks!

Both of these were for WG 3.xx NT. I didn't find anything for the WG2.00 Dos versions as of yet.

i actually compiled it for DOS as well but thats WG3DOS
tested it ok under 3.00 and 3.12 i could always tinker with it and make the wg3 ico stuff compile under my WG2 dev but is gonna require alot of tweaking, me and rick chatted awhile back about the ico dos stuff but hes been so busy didnt wanna disturb him with simple stuff.
seems its a factor again ill see what me and him can work out as far as an ICO update for wg1/wg2

the lag factor is a serious one, but i just used majorTCP/IP when it became one, ill see what i can do.

try to get the complete suite of internet connectivity option stuff updated.
