I would love to participate--any thing possible to improve those "nagging" problems w/ the sql server kit that must be fixed to enable truly DYNAMIC campaign play through the use of sql.
If the random factors align, I should (?) have my new machine assembled and the rest of the home network "re-engineered" to include the new system.
My wifes box (1.5 ghz Amd thunderbird) will become the webserver, I have 5 static IP's and am only using 2 now. The webserver will make three. My buddy is upgrading one of his boxes as well, and may have some extra componants I can use to build a "Frankencomputer", which will be used to host an OP server, preferably w/ sql content that can be accessed by a web front end. My step brother has done web design and sql work, was a gamer, (not SFC though)...this could be a "project" for him to fiddle with.
If I get all my ordered components in by friday, I might be able to have it assembled and preliminary software installed by 7pm CST...if there are no unforseen problems that might pop up anytime you build it yourself. Last couple I built had "issues" that just took time to correct. So I am unable to commit fully to this test, though I want to really bad.
