Well now! I never expected to get flamed for a post that could keep
someone's net from dying! I am quite aware of the new version that will
not broadcast packets, but the old version _can_, and people should be
aware of this.

Our solution, BTW (pending the new release *ahem*), has been to acquire
some Ethernet cabling and two Ts and take our two machines off the
Internet and onto a small (2-machine) LAN. We switch back when we're
done playing.

Patiently waiting 1.2...
