This RSA client is avaliable on ftp.cd.chalmers.se (right now in the pub/incoming tree, soon /pub/netrek/brm-bin). This is the official distribution site for the BRM. This client is BRM3.00pl2. The RSA key should be installed on all RSA clients by midnignt tonight. I will continue to provide updated ports of this code. I am currently running FreeBSD-1.0-EPSILON/XFree86-1.3u1, so this is what the port is for. The file is called BRM.3.00pl2.FreeBSD.gz. Get it, gunzip it, and chmod +x it and you are set to go. The '-u' switch will tell you how to use the client. '-m' will connect you to the metaserver and let you start playing at once. There is documentation for BRM on ftp.cd.chalmers.se as well as examples of .xtrekrc files that can be used to customize your session. Please note that this client -does- support short packets, so if you play through ppp like I do, you will be thrilled with the speed increase (as much as 70% in some cases!) At 14.4K you can even get phaser lock almost all the time! Have fun and lemme know if you have any problems. Jim Pitts ThePitts sg infant2.sphs.indiana.edu
