ICQ- GPL?

by Richard Busc » Tue, 27 Oct 1998 04:00:00

OK I give up. I got ICQ, but I have not figured out how to use it to
find other GPL racers. Could some kind soul tell me how to find other
racers with ICQ?

E-mail me if you need my ICQ number.

Thanks,  ZZ

See you at the races

ICQ- GPL?

Hi Richard,

You should use ICQ to see if people you *already* know are
online.  You would then talk to them about setting up a game.

If you really want to see some racing action, check out:

    http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc

or the Grandstand chat room at DoktorB's site

    http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl

VROC requires Netscape and some more setting up.

The Grandstand, however, will work on any brower.
Just enter you name at the top and choose 'connect'.
Talk to other racers and get the IP address from the host.
You can press the Yellow button under the chat box
to see messages left by people hosting games --- check
the time they say they will be up.  I use the GPL NetAgent
to tell me if a GPL game is at a particular IP address.

Hope this helps,

Jason.
