The current rumors are saying April for release (oh god please let it
be).

As for server power, I don't think there are any real (i.e. hard,
factual) figures yet.  I would hope that a good P90/P100 could serve a
game up to just two clients. (Hopefully three or four clients).

I would think that a 14.4 modem would just barely be sufficient and
28.8 acceptable.  (Although I personally would recommend more than
that -- I'm moving in April and hope to talk the wife into ISDN.  Wish
me luck :)

I believe the latest version of quaketalk is 4.00.  Check out
http://www.prairienet.org/joshm/qtalk/ for the latest version and some
other info.
