I'm game if you are.

A naive attempt doesn't get me anywhere:

C:\download>hxldr32
HXLdr32 version 1.12
Copyright (C) Japheth 2004-2009
HXLdr32 already installed
C:\download>debug p4.exe -p 192.168.56.1:1669
-g
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
Program terminated normally.
-q
C:\download>

I'll try to work on a non-naive attempt later.
