computer-go: Standard Go Modem Protocol

["Lav Kovacic" <lav.kovacic@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I would like to implement Standard Go Modem Protocol in my
experimental go-playing program (in spite of the fact that the program
is poor player). I have already downloaded a file with Go Modem Protocol
source code used in "Nemesis" and "Many Faces of Go". Still I have few
questions:

1) Has anyone already produced object-oriented C++ variant of this
   code? I would like to include this code in my project written in
   Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

2) How can I test this code after implementing into my source?
   Can I somewhere download some shareware or freeware go-playing
   program that uses this protocol? Or at least some random go player that
   uses this protocol?

3) Can this protocol somehow be used to connect two go programs
   running on the same computer? Should I use a hardware loop (a cable that
   conncts two ports on my PC) or I can use some software to simulate this
   loop? I think that ideal situation would be to have some driver that
   simulates e.g. connected ports COM3 and COM4. Because my port
   COM2 is already eaten up by internal modem...

Thanks in advance
