I have finally got this crazy Tradewars 2002 game server up, and running. It's is a 16 person multiplayer game.
This newest version of Tradewars 2002 is v3.09, and has far more options than what you may remember from the older versions (that's if you can remember that far back

There are 2 Tw2002 games going on at the moment (1:Normal 2:MBBS Mode).
If you do decide to join in on the fun, after you finish creating your character (very quick), and name your personal planet, take ownership of it by pressing the letter "O" before taking off from the surface, this way you will be able to find where it is when you wish to transfer cargo, people, minerals, and to build your citadel etc, etc.
This version is well worth the time to play. The link is : [url=telnet://paranorbbs.no-ip.org:2002]Tradewars 2002 16 MP server[/url]
The first screen you encounter is the main login, just type in your 'NickName' you wish to use then choose a game to play, and off you go. There are no emails required...so sit back, and relax. This can be very addictive game to play especially when you have 16 players on at the same time.
Here are a couple of pics for you.
Cheers...
