The service provider has moved their data centre, and asked me if I'm still interested in operating netrek.hwy.com.au, and if I am they want $AUD 11 per month hosting rather than gratis. So I've decided to decommission it. The metaserver problems it induced, the surprising lag, and the access difficulties also came into the equation. ;-) -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
