It is *impossible* to get through to papy.com to get the new opengl driver. I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro OpenGL 8MB setting next to my 12MB Voodoo2 and would like to check out the differences. Anybody care to e-mail it to me?

Well.. they probably never expected the amount of traffic their getting. That or they have that server running on a P90 or something.

Just wanted to let everyone know they need to use an FTP application in order to download the stuff off Papy's website. For some reason, the browser ftp thingy doesn't seem to work too well. I downloaded the demo last night as well as the OpenGL file using CuteFTP, and got transfer rates of about 4.8 k/sec on my 56k modem - whilst my browser was still trying to get a good connection with the site. FTP - it!! doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl -NEW demo report on my site >It is *impossible* to get through to papy.com to get the new opengl >driver.

Nope ... not a 14.4 modem, a *tad* bigger. We had some temporary problems that have been fixed. We apologize for any agony we caused, but we're back up and running. Please check it out: www.papy.com Joel Belog Papyrus >> Well.. they probably never expected the amount of traffic their getting. >> That or they have that server running on a P90 or something. >...on a 14.4 modem I suspect ;)
