It is supported by ftp.hilink.com.au:/pub/FreeBSD/mpd-1.0b.tgz or
ftp.freebsd.org:/incoming/mpd-1.0b.tgz

It is fantastic when talking to another FreeBSD box with mpd, but does 
not work reliably with NT.  I have had two customers with NT move to FreeBSD 
to get dual channels working.

I have mentioned this problem to Archie Cobbs twice before.
