Re: The crossfire meta-server

Err, why can't I just do
   echo who | mconnect madhatter.ws.cc.cmu.edu -p 13326 | tail +3
instead?

(mconnect is just a variant of telnet)

A metaserver is something different - all Crossfire servers should
notify the metaserver once in a while. Users can then access the
metaserver to get a list of active servers and perhaps how many
players there is one them.

To see how the xpilot metaserver works, connect to xpilot.cs.uit.no 4400
