Won.Net - GPL Coming Soon

by T. Wortm » Fri, 11 Sep 1998 04:00:00

I was browsing the Won.Net site today, Sierra's online *** arena,
and noticed they have GPL listed in future game play here. Given what
I know about racing with fenders online, I can't imagine what this
will be like. But what the heck....the site is free of charge.  :)

Yes actually won.net is some sort of Cendant's version of Zone.com

It's essentially an online *** service for IPX and TCP/IP.    (chat,
race, etc...

This is good news indeed. It's _NOT_ the NROS, there won't  be any added
feature than the game itself's multiplayer protocol.  I just forgot that
this site existed for Sierra's list of software <g>.

So now that takes off about any idea we had about #gpl IRC channels, or the
VROC idea I can't tell still <g>

Even Aussies will be able to log on won.net ;-)

Would you be so kind as to link to the news?  I can't find any mention of
GPL multiplayer on WON.  Thanks!

Down near the bottom GPL is listed in the "coming soon" area.
