Xtellinet is now officially merged with OpenNet. The codebases are currently being merged. The specifics of the protocol are in disarray right now, but it is all coming togeather.
There has been a lot of activity between individual developers lately. While this is great, i would suggest that everyone subscribe to the to open discussion group. By just posting to the group, it will allow everyone to see what is going on and allow people just trying to see what the scoup is on xtellinet to get up to date info on this project and its collaborators.
The first release of xtellinet is now available. This first release is able to accept connections and begin processing requests. This code is mainly to show the strucutre in which further code will be written, only hopefully it won't be as bad as mine :-)
Protocol Revision .03 while it seems like a small step, is actually a milestone, it is the first time we come up with a complete picture of the network. Although we anticipate many changes to the underlying protocol structure, we believe it to be stable enough to begin coding. The first pre alpha release should be done by 10/10/00!
