You can get the binary from ftp.cd.chalmers.se:/pub/incoming until it is moved to /pub/netrek/brm-bin The file is gzipped, so you must get it using ftp binary mode, gunzip it, and finally chmod +x the file. The resulting binary was build on NetBSD-current under XFree86 (I do not know if it was 1.3u1 or 2.0). Thanks to the people at 'hulk' (you know who you are) for loaning me the account to build the code on. Hope you enjoy the fruits of your generosity. This client features all the BRM standard features (config. distress, short packets, ping stats, macros, etc). The client will work on RSA servers in about a day or two when the key gets updated in the golbal server database. Please be patient of you get kicked off as a cyborg. For those who play via ppp or slip, there is -nothing- to use but the BRM. It's ease of configuration coupled with the short packets really speeds thinks up. FYI the FreeBSD client works great (same place as the NetBSD client). It has been out for several weeks. Jim Pitts (ThePitts)
