Mud program

[kyrathaba]

I'm coding a MUD in VB6 using TCP Winsock. It's for the hobbyist who wants to run a small mud serving a relatively small number of players off whatever Windows platform he has available to him. I've had up to two dozen testers connected to it while it runs on my P4 machine with a DSL connection. My question is would it run on an IIS if someone had access to one at work? I've got a buddy who wants to run it from an IIS at his company. I told him it should run fine. It features a helper app that monitors the mud if it's running on your home PC and allows you to log-in remotely using a mud client and reboot the mud from afar if you wish. Could this setup work on a Windows-platform server computer?

IIS genenrally just handles the HTTP, STMP and FTP protocols it would not interfere with another server app running the Mud and the same server. Although if his company has a proxy server it may not allow the mud traffic to get out or in.
