First, I have ported Ncurses to DJGPP successfuly for Python, but I have
never tried a sort of 'remote-app-server'. But, I am not sure that a ncurses
hook is needed... I think that a network wrapper is the solution, because
ncurses library just generates terminal output and the .exe says where the
output should go. It's just text, really. I think more important is that the
network signal is understood correctly, because ncurses apps crash when
signal returns are wrong.

The best person to ask is dickey AT invisible-island DOT net . He's a good guy, and
is very responsive to technical questions that help move the library
forward.
