Valve will have a real legal hurdle to overcome if they think a spray of a Pepsi logo on a wall in de_dust is against their EULA and glowing green letters on your screen are not. Given the price of bandwidth, and how the HL engine has required more and more, Valve knew this would happen. You don't build an engine that can't run on a 56K modem connection or a 256K up /1024 DSL link and not figure server ops are paying for the ability to host your free server. - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings?
