What I am actually interested in doing is setting up a desktop applet which can sit in the tray (on Windows) and notify you when games are ready.

Frankly - I'm surprised there are enough players at most times during the queue to fill *one* queue. :-) At what point is Netrek dead? :-) Cheers, mark P.S.
