HI all !

I'm a Bolo fan ! Are there other Bolofans, too ?
Yesterday I recived the Bolo version 99.2. I'm very happy
about the function to play Bolo over the internet.
But I don't understand the Bolo-traker button ????????
How I get information about runing Bolo-games ?

And by the way, if someone knows the ip-numbers of macs
where often Bolo-games run, please mail me the adress !
I will be there.........

THANX

They're all (well mostly) apparent on/in alt.netgames.bolo

First of all, there is a Bolo-newsgroup called alt.netgames.bolo - but
maybe you don't get it there?
There is a couple of us scattered around Europe, and I have some addresses
as well as friends here who are willing to play.
I also know these Bolo FTP-sites:

bolo.stanford.edu
mondo.engin.umich.edu (has the Internet BoloTracker)
phylec2.mps.ohio-state.edu

I any other europeans read this and are interested, please get in touch.

Happy Boloing!

Too damn many... I'll never get a full day's work done ever again now that I
have internet bolo...

Okay, I'll answer these backwards. To get information about bolo games in
progress, use telnet to connect to the bolo-tracker server (telnet
gwis.circ.gwu.edu 1234) and you'll get a list of games & sites. This server
knows about all the games going on right now, IF the person hosting the game
has checked the Bolo-Tracker button in the setup dialog box. Get it? There's
also a Mac program called "Bolo Finder" that does the telnet call for you
and puts the results up in a window. Just select the address, copy and paste
into the bolo setup dialog.
