Julian Data: We developed a neat utility. Actually I had some ideas and Paul Graham is making it work. The way it works! you load in a group of racers. Associated with each racer is the IP address of his ISP. What the program does is it pings all the members in your league, clan, group or whatever. This can be used for GPL, NASCAR, Drag racing, or Quake like games. All the people in the group run the program 15 mins prior to the event. Everyone than knows not only the status of their connection to the racing ISP. But it also knows the status of all parties to the ISP or to each other. People that have AOL ISP, get red flagged.. hehe People with poor connections get RED FLAGGED.. Its just another level of connection management that monitos, pings, latency, packet loss etc. TEN or that TCP adddress gives you a single point to point. But you really dont know who might me causing a problem in the race.
