Hey sweet! Glad to know it's still being worked on and... that brings me
to another question. One of our users was asking about us "hooking into"
CMU and MIT's zephyr realms so that our three universities can chat
amongst themselves. I haven't heard back from the guy since I asked him
to give me some contacts, but is this indeed something y'all might be
interested in doing? He wasn't able to give me any of the requirements or
anything yet. Right now we are running two zephyr servers at version
2.0.4.
Thanks much!
Daniel
