[mohaa] Server Requirements

Thanks Matrix, I appreciate the feedback. So basically you are saying that
the server meets the hardware requirements, but we would almost have to be
running on T1. Correct?

MOH and SH both send a lot of data out which will be your upstream, and
unless you have a huge upstream, my guess would be 5 to 8 players, but with
laggggg on a cable connection.  A long time ago, I played with a Quake3
server on a cable connection which used less upstream than MOH or SH, and
when going over 8 players, the lag was unplayable...  Just my 2 cents and
history of trying to run a cable server...

Along those same lines, I am looking to build a server but I am unsure of the
hardware requirements. What do you recommend for hosting a 18 player MOH:SH
Linux server? Right now I'm looking at a 1.4 Athelon at 512 mb ram. Good
enough? Also, this is a cable connection. Do you think it will work well?

Alrighty. Do you know if Ryan is working on this problem?
