First part of #8, although previous refactorings have been building towards this. This is not yet complete, although the basic skeleton is there.

If the wrong password is used it's best to just reject the connection immediately rather than repeatedly trying to send a solution that isn't accepted. Part of #8.

This is the last major piece of #8 now in place. Multiple protocols are now supported, and ipxbox_uplink can be used to connect to the server and forward packets back and forth. Ther are still some important TODOs left so this is not entirely complete yet.

Currently it's possible to bridge a local
ipxboxserver to a LAN, but there's no way to bridge to an external server. In theory a standalone "uplink" program could bridge a LAN to a remoteipxboxserver, and multiple users could do this to transparently connect their LANs and play together.It would require an extension to the dosbox protocol since that assumes you only ever have a single machine with a MAC address supplied by the server.
