I don't think this is intended to help with serving. It seems to handle the forwarding of Quake packets to clients behind a masq box, so that when a client behind the masq box connects to a server, UDP packets from the server are sent back to the client. Kernel 2.4 seems to do this automagically. I've never loaded any Quake-specific kernel modules on my 2.4-based masq box, and I've never had any problems with Quake (Q3|Quakeworld) playing. -- Samuel Merritt PGP key is at http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~merritt/snmerritt.asc Information about PGP can be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~aegreene/pgp/
