I'd say JHcore has some of the best networking code there. It has a
Web interface, and they just recently finished an nntp daemon to let
you read mail lists with your favorite newsreader.

I've looked around enough and I can safely say "no".  There are no
simple plug-ins, but JHcore's networking tools could probably be
converted to LambdaCore easily enough.

WaxWeb.  Do a Lycos search on WaxWeb, I don't have the URL.  Their
system is not portable, not that I know of.  I'm sorta partial to
E_WEB (on E_MOO of course) for general-purpose usage, because it lets
users return http status codes among other things.  Page moved to
another site or object?  Just return $httpd:status_redirect(new-url).

Well, JHcore has a nice little tool called the "current-object" that
lets you port objects via a @dump script with no need to edit the
script, as it will automagically sub the object number of the new
object.  There's also Defender's @autoport, you can ask him about it
on RiverMOO.
