5 Worlds will be going down for 3 weeks for a schedueled conversion
tonight at 12:00am
We would have 35 captive beta testers at a time. It will give them and
me something to do!

I can test two platforms.. SUNOS and Apollo Domain OS. The sun is a t3
and the apollo is a t2 I believe.

I have experience with MERC and I have also worked with Circle, LP
(Amylaar), and Gama Dikucode.

I will have, and we can talk about how long you want to test. I can test
on the Apollo from now until the cows come home. The machine is idle.
The test run on the Sun platform can run 3-4 weeks. I can also provide
accounts for you so you can tinker with the port as it runs... only if
you wish it. I know you and what you are about.
I also will not be making many changes to the code in the test. I really
am not looking to 'port' it to my needs. I think I am too deep into 2.20
to change.. but I do have a 3200 player base to test on the thing.. Those
folks are gonna be bored the next 3 weeks.
