Nice article, and thanks for the mention!  At some point I should update the serial-based game server but I've been having a bit too much fun with VSDrive/Super Selector/Prodos re-cracks lately so it's taken a bit of a backseat.  I've been hoping for a more suitable replacement to RXTX since it seems kind of abandoned and is a headache to explain how to get working for people who don't deal with java all that often.  For now, it's probably helpful to note that my emulator efforts have eclipsed the game server stuff -- and eventually might succeed at absorbing all the best bits.  Time will tell.  (Hell, Jace already has ACME built in to it now, who knows what crazy stuff I'm going to do next??)
