Hmm... I just read the Japanese freewnn page, and the Japanese install
instructions. Two comments:

* The page hasn't been updated in over two years. Is that project even
active anymore?

* The installation instructions end with "And that is how you install the
server part. Then you need to set the clients to use wnn. I'll post
instructions on how to do that in a few days." But that is it. :-)
