I have had a lot of enquiries about the free pathworks server after I followed
up a comment on the list. Alan Cox <iiitac@pyramid.swansea.ac.uk> has tracked
down the author and I have got the full story from him. He is Andrew Tridgell,
<tridge@nimbus.anu.edu.au> at the Australian National University.

Summary

  - A free Pathworks server exists, and I have made it available for anon ftp
    in the directory lux.levels.unisa.edu.au:pub/pathworks.
  - It implements NetBIOS, on top of sockets.
  - It only took about two weeks to write.
  - He no longer has a need for it, and so has stopped development.
