Will there be GPL SERVERS i.e. Quake Servers?????

Can anyone shed some light on this?? As Sierra said GPL will be the "Quake of Racing Simulators." ~~Alpha B.~~ Remove one of the "b's" to reply via e-mail.

Good question.

Keep an eye on my GPL site and The APEX over the next few days; we hope to announce a new development which will help people find each other to race on line. GPL does not have the ability to remotely control a GPL server, but it does have a hook that allows us to remotely query a GPL server for status, and we are building a matchmaking facility around this feature. It will be roughly analagous to TEN or The Zone, but entirely Web-based, implemented with Java and CGI. And free. Using a dedicated server won't necessarily help the frame rate on the clients, but for a number of reasons, it's an advantage to have GPL hosted on a machine with a high speed connection to the Internet, such as a cable modem. If the machine is run as a dedicated server (i.e. no one drives on the machine running the GPL server) then graphics can be turned down, and a fairly slow machine (200-233 mhz) is adequate. Alison

Excellent! Looking forward to it :) I have a question related to on-line play: I have a one-way cable modem that rocks on the download (I get 4Mbps) but only 28.8kbps on the upload. How will this do in a multiplayer on-line race? I suspect everything will be great for me, but how about the others? Devon
