we''ve started working on a message/chat application based on DirectPlay that uses IPX, TCP/IP, modem or serial link to create chat rooms, useful at LAN parties, at work instead of sending emails or just a private chat with someone. Since I haven''t got a LAN at home, I can''t test all the features, that''s why I need people to test it for me. The alpha test will begin in a few days if everything works out. If you want to sign up, email me at netz@home.se. Note that you have to be able to test it on at least one of the ways mentioned above. Daniel Netz, Sentinel Design
