Jesus,
In Asia-Pacific region, we're now using dbeacon:
http://fivebits.net/proj/dbeacon/
There's a tarball link on that page as well as a link to the git
repository.
Its different from the older multicast beacons in that its distributed
in its action, rather than client/server; any client can also display
the output matrix via a web server. For an example of output, see the
Asia Pacific matrix at:
