FYI I'm living in Holland and am fortunate enough to have a co-located box in Sydney, regularly (ie as often as icecast doesnt crash) streaming JJJ as ogg at 128kbps. Sometimes I'll tune a different station, but usually triplej (it's got a bttv card w/fm in it). The main use of the tuner is for getting Mixup each saturday. :) Email me if you want the URL for it. -- BB -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
