Josie, What Tabuleiro has produced is their own Unix/Linux/Solaris/etc. version of the multiuser *server*, not the Xtra. You use the Multiuser Xtra in Shockwave (or Director or projectors) to gain scripting access to client-server related Lingo commands, using those commands you can connect up to 16 movies in a peer-to-peer connection and exchange messages (no server required); for more robust functionality and larger connection numbers you can instead use the Xtra to connect client movies to an application running on a server, that application is known as the Multiuser Server. There's the server that comes with Director (Win32 and Mac OS9.x only) or there is...
The Nebulae Multiuser Server from Tabuleiro runs on Linux (among many other platforms) but you connect to it using Macromedia's Multiuser Xtra which is currently only provided for Win32, Mac OS9.x and Mac OSX, it is not available on Linux, unless I missed something on Tabuleiro's site: <http://xtras.tabuleiro.com/> But this does raise the point that there are *nix Multiuser options out there, just none from the Mothership...
