He did mention that he doesn't know why no-one has made an internet connected multiplayer version... Man, that would be awesome!

How would that work? Same rules as the multiplayer mode (anyone can control any lemming, everyone works from a shared pool of skills)?

Classic Lemmings had both co-op and competitive multiplayer.

Co-op is clear, as you described.

Competitive: you each have your own lemmings: blue-green vs. green-blue. You have your own start point and end point on the same map. You can only control your own lemmings. Your goal-point will accept any lemming. Hilarious chaos ensues.

Not sure. It would require some experiments. Maybe different teams of lemmings? Or maybe a free-for-all?
