I'd love to add these games to the site. WHo wants to play what?

SRE is preferable to BRE, but either will work. If we do trade wars, we need to limit the number of turns per day to less than a 1000.

I have a full gig of space and 10 gigs of bandwith I can allocate for it. Just decide which, and help me find the setup files and I can host it here.

I have faith that BIGKEV will pull it off.

I'm up for any of the old BBS games.
If we do go with trade Wars it will be 200 turns per day, tps.

I am partial to BRE. I realize I am in the minority, so Trade Wars will be acceptable as well.

Big Kev, I'm coming to LaFollette this weekend, if your coming in could you burn me the files you find. Anybody else have links to them, I will start downloading them.

What are Trade Wars and BRE?

Two non-graphical, pre-internet, online, old-school BBS games.

I really did like SRE better as well. But Trade Wars was my game for a long time. I'll never forget the days of the Fantasy BBS. I took great pleasure in helping topple Bharat in SRE. But my proudest moment there was when Khyron finally took down the Romulans and Cardassians in Trade Wars. Of course I couldn't have done any of this with out the aid of my fellow F.U.L.

We should be able to host both, I just need the files. I'm not sure if I can host on bravenet or not, I'll have to figure out how to configure the files. If not anyone with a cable modem should be able to set up their computer as a server.

Uhh...I don't think regular cable customers (like myself) get a static IP. I think mine is dynamic. You'd need a static to pull it off.

Yes you have a static IP if you are a cable customer. Each time you have posted on this string, even with days between your IP is the same. Mine with Comcast is static as well. So, that aspect won't be a problem.

Even if you disconnect for a while? Won't you lose you IP lease then?
I am not familiar with Comcast's setup. I've worked in DSL the last few years. It was definitely dynamic, unless you paid extra.

Your both sort of correct. DCHP will assign your IP based on a provider side pool of IP addresses, however unless your box is off for extended stretches of time the TCP/IP protocols running the show provider side will "remember" your MAC address and keep giving the same IP to it. This will always happen if the provider is running current generation Sysco. From time to time a flux will happen. You can force a IP address to be hard coded, but you will need a packet sniffer and some info on the subnet set up of the provider.
