Multiplayer over internet with Hatari or other emulator?

[VW]

I did some searching and haven't found a great answer. I remember it being possible to play Atari 8-bit MULE with emulators with a friend of mine over the internet before and was wondering if something similar was possible on the ST. Basically routing the second controller port to the internet. Mule had players take turns so maybe this was the only reason it worked? Any help/pointers appreciated, the game I am trying to get work is Superstar Ice Hockey.

On Linux at least, you could map the joystick, serial and midi devices to any /dev/* device, so theoretically that could be a pipe that is connected to someone else's system.   This would be completely transparent to the emulator, but would require a bit of Linux knowledge.

Not related to your interesting question but nowadays with A8 it is possible to play online fast arcade crossplay games (8bit-Slicks with 8bit-Hub) and slower games with FujiNet.
