(Seti was planned for 50-max. 100.000 users ... they have more than 2 million ... and the computer speed has also risen drastically) Maybe you should have a look into other projects. Like folding@home -> help decode protein folding distributed.net -> extremely highly optimized clients for multiple projects (at the moment cracking a cryptographic code and finding OGRs which are mathematical constructs useful for many scientific calculations) there is support for tons of OSes (including DOS) http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Computer_Science/Distributed_Comp uting/Projects/ LB> l.d.
