The port is only partially superceded by the online website. Since the port includes both server and client components it can be used to measure bandwidth between any two computers that you control in addition to connecting to any 'official' servers. The online website is not as flexible (and it requires a flash-enabled webbrowser too which as we all know is not so easily obtained on FreeBSD.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
