WOW!!!! Great Job Admiral! Sure does make hot seat on the web possible. I'm still a beleiver of PBEM myself, but I would definitly consider this as an option for the PBW site.

Can it be used for LAN-play? Or does it seek an active I-net connection?

You must be connected to the internet to use the RTC. The client program handles the auto-launching and sending and recieving turn files. The game turns are still run on the PBW server as they are now without the RTC.
