Anywhere you can map a drive letter to, you can wait for turnfiles from. Whenever a new .GAM file appears, the LANHelper offers to load it.

Right now, it works well, but SE4 has a bug when loading sequential games from the command prompt (you have to re-load the savegame once SE4 launches, or all your ships have zero movement).

I could probably come up with a simultaneous game auto-host in a few weeks, if anybody wants it.
