Cable is not an option. I can get cable broadband, but my local cable provider does not offer a static IP, even at a premium. I might be able to get away with running a server since the IP #'s stay pretty stable unless the modem is reset. But I'd have to have the URL repointed occasionally. And in that case I probably would be violating some sort of user aggrement.

No, Cirvol. No eta. The phone co guy is supposed to be back by the end of day, but your guess is as good as mine on whether he will actually fix it this time.

Sooner or later all, and I do mean all, games will be driven by the demand for multiplayer and Shrapenl as well as other game manufactures will have to wake up and smell the coffee. Why not get an earily jump on the trend and start supporting the genra now?"

Hmm. This has been spouted since before Quake 3 game out. Hasn't happened yet.

For MP games I have played a few and with a dial up they suck in reat time moves, you get real dead fast from someone with a good conn but MP has its good side, take this forum..if we ALL were in a game...

I could be wrong (like that's not happened!) but I think the days of DSL for Geo are over. Into the 8th day with, apparently, no one giving a crap that it isn't working. Phone company thinking, "So? What's one rented DSL line worth compared to repair?"

You're wrong.

Of course I can't say it's going to be fixed by this time on that day, but it will be fixed.

Another phone co guy came out this afternoon. He's working the problem and said he hopes to have it done by tommorow.

We'll see.

Well, believe me, I'd like to be wrong! Their customer service is anything but acceptable.

No, we need Narf to get out his megaphone and get the Angry Mob organized.

"Next, in local news, a rampaging mob of angry computer gamers stormed a local phone company's management offices, causing massive damage and tarring and feathering several dispatchers. But first, tomorrow's weather..."

Words, just words - he wouldn't have dared to say otherwise I guess

I do not trust these I-will-have-it-done-tomorrow guys more than, lets say, a Quicksilver programmer saying he has tested his programm...

But on the other hand, I *did* say a few days ago that I was hoping for saturday, maybe I should have faith in my own prophecies
