I'm excited about this. I'm going to wait for a bit of further development before I start trying to get in (for one thing, I'm on a Mac, and that server predates CoH having anything resembling a Mac version)
Actually, as I type that... I wonder if I could just use the newest Mac version as a wrapper, and replace the "coh" folder with the older version? That may be worth trying out.
... might need to free up some disc space first, though.
