I play TFC over a 512/256 broadband connection - should I get Steam or what?

Only if you're noticing that there are less servers than usual. I
haven't bothered.

Ahhhh right. I've noticed some of my favourite servers disappearing - are they getting steamed,
maybe?

Also, if I get Steam, can I still use the old servers, do you happen to know?

Thanks for the reply!

Yep, that's where they've migrated.... You can install the Steam
client, play it's servers or bring up WON servers and play on them on
the same 'puter.... I have no problem with it... I also have a WON
server on one machine and a Steam HLDS runinning on a second machine.

Yep, that's where they went... I installed the Steam client but left
my ASE connection intact.... I can now use Steam or WON for loggging
on to servers... I also Installed the Steam HLDS on one machine and
have the WON HLDS on the other 'puter so I now host a server on both
Steam and WON... Works great...

Now you know why we refer to that as "Getting Scalded".  8*)  Sounds
like they are getting the bugs out of it, after six months of Alpha
testing on the backs of the poor early adopters, but I don't play
online, so I'm going to hold off...
