Nathan,

As you have already surmised, SIOCONS is still running when your
application (game) is running. It should be possible (it'd be a lot of
work) to do what you want since the Codewarrior dev kit allows similar
types of things to be done (I think.) Floating Worlds has written a
winsock application for the Net Yaroze that may come in handy if you
want to try this.
