Functionally, this metaserver is completely identical to all other metaservers. This metaserver acts like any of the other 3 metaservers in the client, in that all listed servers are aggregated into the server list. If client is in metaBroncoOnly mode, it also behaves like other metaservers in that non-bronco entries are ignored. Current policy on that metaserver mirrors metaserver.us.netrek.org. Any netrek server is welcome to solicit to it, including bronco, sturgeon, paradise, hockey and chaos. Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
