I could swear I'm paying for 1gig.), it's still looking like there's enough horsepower -- and certainly enough diskspace -- to spare. I'm connected through an OC192 in the datacenter, so I think the bandwidth is good just so long as we don't go above my 500gb traffic allotment on any given month. I do need to see if I can get the software to compile, however (i'm on linux). I think it's worth having a conversation with some of the experts, but before I go too far, I'd like to know how much interest there is in this really? Anybody else like the idea of another Ninjam server out there? If we get one set up, is it actually gonna get used? TIA!!! --m. -- _______ "Take a packet of seeds.
