GPL multiplayer on Kali

Had two good races with folks on Kali yesterday. We met on the racing server. Cable modems are very nice for this! Had several excellent passing situations with no collisions. See you all out there.

How'd you do that? I have a cable modem but am behind a linux gateway and can't be either a server OR a client...

See section 7.3 of Alison Hine's GPL Online FAQ. It should answer many of your questions. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/ -Bill
