In fact both end up in the same mailbox. freemail.at is my personal UUCP
domain provided by atnet. I hope it was only a temporarly problem. I
get at least all the list mails to this adress.

If you are able to cat soundfile.au >/dev/audio it will work. It's really
sound basics which is required here.

There will be a new release before you start packing anyway, since we
have to release the Cambot replay stuff first.

After the Euro Netrek Gathering next week I have still 1 week holiday left,
so just tell me what you like to have in the client I'll do it :-)
