&gt; What I will be using is MSVC++ 5.0 (will get six when it's released) Win98.
&gt; The idea I have in mind is to create a server that robust enough to do
&gt; several things:

Why run it under W98?  If you build a Win32 server, at least NT offers a
modicum of security and stability.

&gt; 1. maintain quality connections with players in such a manner that it will
&gt; actively ping the players and drop anyone within the admin's described
&gt; margins. If not drop them, then to put them on a holding queue until the
&gt; connection improves.

Possible, but likely to cause a lot of annoyance.

&gt; I've more ideas, but it seems to me that they stem from getting the server
&gt; up and going first. How practical is MFC for the job or creating a server
&gt; for the aforementioned ideas? What other avenues should I look into? Again,
&gt; any input would be greatly appreciated.

No idea.
