>Has anybody ported xtrek to NETBSD yet?  I tried but

I ported the berkrick netrek client about a week ago.  It supports all the
features the BRM team supports (short packets, RSA verivication, the
metaserver, config distress).  It is for FreeBSD, however.  It was
compiled under XFree86-1.3u1, FreeBSD-1.0-EPSILON.

It is avalible on the official BRM distribution site:

ftp.cd.chalmers.se in /pub/netrek/brm-bin

It is called BRM-3.0pl2.FreeBSD.gz.  The RSA key is registered with
RSA servers everywhere.

I would be happy to provide a port for NetBSD, but I do not have access to
such a machine to compile/port the code.  If someone would be willing to
let me get to one, I am sure I could provide a port in a matter of a
few hours/days/weeks/months.		;)		(hours I think)
