Shame they won't let anyone run standalone servers.  Limits what you can 
actually do with the game (Limited LAN party ability...)

No, but you ARE making a Linux version of the server.  Perhaps SCI's giving 
consideration to building Linux based game server clusters...  :->

Can't be helped from what I can see.  All I can say is thank you for the port 
(And, if anybody in the Army command that's responsible for the game is 
listening in- thank you for letting Ryan port it for us...)
