They have a java version almost ready. I was going to test it for them on 
freebsd and linux and maybe even open server but I haven't persued it after 
the initial voice conversation with one of the partners, which happened to 
take place in the voice chat room itself.

I hate windows as much as anyone, but I'm not going to let that actually get 
in the way of getting thing done.

If I wasn't in the chat room via windows, I would not now have a line on the 
alpha/beta version of the client that will let me connect without windows 
from now on. If you want to test the thing for them maybe John can give them 
your contact info and you will probably be better situated to test for them 
anyways since you use freebsd and inux way more than I do, and you use Apple 
a lot which I almost never use. And Since I actually have and use windows 
it's only a mininscule annoyance that they don't have a linux client rather 
than a show stopper. Not to metion you are just ever so slightly more 
experienced. :)
