My apologies for the tone of the previous email, I followed the link and
initially the site appeared completely unrelated, however looking more
closely I see that you're running the java applet client on that
website.
I hope you don't mind I've updated the wiki entry to make it clearer,
that it's a link to the java applet version.
I've also added a link to the i386 client download as well, and joined
the NetBSD team (running a couple of clients).
Thanks,
Chris
