My thanks,
Downloading Progeny as I type, this will pretty much kill my Unreal
Tourament games for a short while. I'll put it on my 'old' P200 system with
128 MB of ram. Should be a fairly solid little trooper. When I get
comfortable with it, I'll build up my PPro 150 and put it on a real DMZ,
just like a grown up network. :)
