Summary: UK server list available on Web

Keywords: UK Quake server list

I have just knocked up a fairly basic Web page which is a CGI

gateway to the program Qstat running on a list of Quake servers

in or near the UK. The address is:

http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/cgi-bin/qstat.cgi

More details are on the page itself, but I guess it might be

useful to people who cannot run Qspy or Qstat, or who can't be

bothered to keep track of all UK Quake servers, or both. It

also has a table for looking up the IP address of a given UK

servers if you only know the name. This may be handy if you

don't have access to a DNS host lookup program.

It uses Qstat 1.5, so does not have QuakeWorld support (yet).

Any additions/corrections/comments welcome. It would be quite

nice for this to become an authoritative list of Quake servers

for UK players, if it doesn't become too much of a time-drainer

for me.
