Summary: blessed sun3 4.1.1


I am looking for a specific blessed binary for our
machine here.  We are running a sun3 under the 4.1.1U
operating system.  Currently, we have installed
netrek.galaxy.sun3os4.1.1 from ftp.iastate.edu, but
this is not a blessed binary.

I have searched through the FAQ and the ftp list sites to
no avail.  After asking for help from the netrek Gods, it
was suggested to me to post to this group in the hope that
someone could point me in the right direction.

I believe that ocf.berkeley.edu may have the client I am looking
for, but it does not allow me access, saying that it cannot
get guest privileges after prompting for the password.

Our users here would really appreciate a blessed binary that
works on our operating system, and I would appreciate any help
that you could give.  Thanks in advance :)

The kill and bombing messages were what I was referring to.  I couldn't
tell if someone had declared peace before or after being killed, so I
couldn't be positive.  I still want the full message log, by the way, 
if it's available.  Oh, and the times are nice, but one minute resolution

  The result of the Janitors of Anarchy vs. IAState was 15-5 favor IASTATE!  
(Yeah, they actually won!) But that's not all, not only did they win by 10  
planets, but they also got an opportunity to test the brand new IAborg (v 1.0).

Features of IABorg:

o Auto Detting - Yep! Fastest detting in the west. Even better than PigBorg!
o Auto Torps   - Be able to fire that perfect hyperbola into ANY player, no
		 matter what range! 
o Auto Phasers - Never miss! Never turns off! Allows you to shoot torps in
		 opposite direction of phaser! Will pick off pesky oggers while
		 you concentrate torps in base on base situations.
o Auto Pressor - Amazing how fast this bugger picks up oggers, and will change
		 targets without even making you stop firing!
o Instant Off  - Tab key allows you to turn it off when opponents start  
		 complaining. This, of course, will cause you to lose all the  
		 planets you've taken, and in fact fall behind by a planet,  
		 but, it's for those special situations where you may get  
		 caught! Be sure to turn it on after emphatically denying  
		 you're borging.

  The combination of experience on JOA team playing tonight adds up to 12+  
years. Only one person on the team declined to comment on their use of borgs,  
the rest agreed. 

  Be wary next time you play IAState. And be prepared for them to act like  
you've hurt their feelings when you call them borgs. But, just remember, the  
first time you see that perfect hyperbola with every torp hitting you, quit out  
right then--it's not worth the frustration.

		Normally, the team that bombs more is losing.  The other team has more
planets.  The losing team also often has a better ratio.  As for planets
taken, it sounds like they indied a lot of planets.  That means that
they weren't scumming for takes instead of drops.  This is often a sign
of teamwork.  The game is jusged by the number of planets held, not the
number taken.
	As for ISU's reputation, I'd say ignore it.  You're a new team, and
need some time to work into form.  It happened to UPenn; it's happening
at Harvard; it's happening at UTexas (I predict that Hell's Bagles will
lose it's at large status within a year.); and it's happening at ISU.  I
for one am glad.

	I look forward to fighting you on Saturday.

As with most things, you gets what you pays for.  I have used a V32
modem so bad that I actually prefer a 2400 bps.  On the other hand, my
Telebit Worldblazer does everything I ask it to, and has outrageously
good support from Telebit for $500 (December 91 purchase).  If you can
afford a little more money, I encourage you to spend it.  As someone
else mentioned, there is ample evidence to support this view on
comp.dcomm.modems.

  I have no doubt Brian knows about reserved.c and INL server does not come
  with the *real* reserved.c, but keep in mind that even though you have 
  compiled the server with the *real* reserved.c, you need to set
  BINCONFIRM=1  in .sysdef  (default 0)

 	. . .Uh, one 'borg while I was in.  He was pretty lame.  Y'all had a
'borg too.  Although he denied it, his binary was unblessed, and his
torps were fired very regularly.  I'd say that I'm 80% sure he was 'borg.
	It was an interesting game while I was still in.  We essentially gound
the Klis up into their core and then started having trouble because some
people wanted to ogg the base (Videodrome) and some didn't.  Eventually,
our whole team minus Ignatious went in for the Ogg, but the Kli were
clued enough that we couldn't get it behind Kli.  So I brought in a base
(That's right -- Balton and EEK! on the team, and they're using a BOBO
base.) which all of the Kli escorts decided to Ogg, letting the Ori get
the base.  Afterward, I was pretty crippled, so i sucked a BB onto
myself so I could get back to work.
	The Kli Ogging was quite effective.  I think that EEK! was anoyed by
the gloating.  We couldn't get Kli and Pol, and had trouble keeping more
than 6 or 7 of the Kli planets at a time.
	Then Balton and EEK! decided that it wasn't going to end, and seeing
that it was late, left.  MUCUS got mad because I was busy taking a
planet instead of escorting him to Cas (Agri), so he decided to scum up
Rom space.  So I quit.  I guess that Grand Admiral Hell Peacock So Shut
Up and Passing Wind showed up then.

I am a lady player who has just begun playing this month.  I heard about 
netrek all of last year, and never understood what it was about it that drew
people to it, but now I do!  Yes, yes, I admitt I am new to the game and by 
far not as wonderful as the vetrans to the sport.  But I hope that by reading 
these conferences I shall improve myself greatly.  Fortunately I play with a 
friend who gives me advice in those last crucial moments.  
You asked for "good lady players" to post, and I am sure that as a mere lowly 
Lieutenant hardly anyone would consider me good.(except maybe an Ensign!!)
But, alas, I try.  If you would have any good advice or important facts on 
tactic and strategy,etc, I'd be happy to read about them.
