I've written a new server and i would like as many people to connect to me as possible please. Here is what i need you to do. 1) Create a new connection in hyperterminal called whatever you like and connect using tcp/ip to 82.10.36.219 on port 8888. 2) Open notepad, type your forum user name and copy and paste it into hyperterminal so it sends it to me and i can see who you are. The server is a mirror so everything you send will get send back to you. Thanks for the help. ace Connectees So Far ================= cowsarenotevil ranorak extrarious Thanks, ace

I didn't copy/paste; I just typed it into telnet, and it came back "csowswarawerwnotewenotvileotvil."

Why does posting a reply now take me to the GameDev homepage?

That's due to the awesomeness that is the Nagle Algorithm.

Who was sending extreme volumes of arbitrary information.

Oh, and my server still stays alive, which is nice.

It's most likely because im on a 56k connection.

maybe i tried when your connection was spammed by the arbitrary info? because i don't think a 56K connection explains 800 of ping & 1/4 packet loss
