So only one of your computers can be connected to the same quake server at the same time. Or you can set up a server on the FreeBSD machine... If a single client coming from your lan is fine, look for proxying client-side quake bots. There are some that cheat for you, and there are some which simply allow you to do what you want to do. One that I was looking at was the Terminator Bot (sorry, don't have the URL). --Ludwig Pummer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page ^-- Updated 07/01/97
