Hi Ian
I don't know about STN being dead quite yet, but its very close. It was the first in
its field by far, and was the best, but its very quickly losing the race. It needs a
lot of new features to keep it viable, such as more Dynamic DNS services (Free ones),
Support for PPTP, and point and click support for things like ICQ and other such
utilities, instead of entering ports manually. (I don't mind, but for it to be as
simple as possible, it needs these things)
IMHO,
Greg
