Disclosed is an entertaining, enlightening, and educational travel related game, and method of play, in which players compete to fulfill predetermined itineraries. Each player's itinerary is determined prior to the beginning of the game by the random distribution of itinerary cards, which relate directly, on a one to one basis, to travel destinations located on the game pathway. Distinct playing pieces are provided to represent each player's “family”, as well as tokens that represent each player's travel allowance, and a die to determine the extent of movement. The path also contains several spaces relating to instruction cards that may advance or impede the player's collection of the said itinerary. The winner is the first player to successfully visit all the travel destinations on his or her individual itinerary and then return all of his or her “family members” back to his or her home position.

A system for extending the operation of a local communications port of a client computer includes a central server, a client communication module, and a remote communication device, each connected to a communication network. A method of operating a central server in a communications network begins with establishing a first communication link between the central server and a remote communication device in response to a request from the remote communication device. A second communication link is established between the central server and a client communication module in response to a request from the client communication module. Application data is received from the client communication module via the second communication link and forwarded, via the first communication link, to the remote communication device. Remote equipment data is received from the remote communication device via the first communication link and forwarded, via the second communication link, to the client communication module.
