It's not quite so boring -- presenting exactly the same interface to the
mudlib user would defeat the point of enabling the network extensions.
Apart from integrating new functionality such as outbound connections,
there are also changes to deal with.  For example, vanilla DGD handles
UDP as an extension of a TCP connection, and provides a way to identify
multiple clients behind the same firewall; DGD+net's UDP support is
geared towards communicating with external UDP services.
