Three servers? Makes me want to put up that Sparc I have in the garage just to keep up.

Three games on one computer actually.

Linux? Windows? Mac? and what version of OS?

Windows 98 SE on a 766 MHz PIII with 256 MB of RAM. I've had up to five or six instances of Dom 2 running at once on it, so I know it could handle more, but the administrative overhead gets really large at that point with my flaky internet connection.

Are you trying any interfacing to other programs such as web or email?

I tried a couple of times to find a program that would let me send out automatic email notifications, but haven't had much luck.

Has it made you want to volunteer to run the official server, or just the oppossite?

I don't mind hosting games, but I really hate when outside circumstances disrupt their smooth flow.

As an announcement to the players in my games, I've received notice from Shaw that my Internet connection will have service disruptions for up to five hours on the night of Feb. 22nd, so I'll delay all hostings by an extra 24 hours to accommodate any international players.
