--- F R E N D Z of martian --- I've just spent the weekend playing Asheron's Call - a multi player 3d adventure - pretty much a MUD with quake-like graphics. It is loads of fun even if it is published by M$ and you pay $10/mnth to play What really enhances it though, is a mike and Roger Wilco (http://www.rogerwilco.com) - a voice chat tool which uses directX so it doesn't clash with the sound of the game. It doesn't grok firewalls (so I can't create a channel, only join one which is directly connected to the net) but if anyone on a modem or a public IP sets up a channel on it gimme a shout on ICQ (1814297) and I'll come and have a chat. -- Martin Cosgrave Appdev Ltd - http://appdev.co.uk 0117 902 3143 -- Sent to you via the frendz list at marsbard.com The archive is at http://www.mail-archive.com/frendz@marsbard.com/
