Glad to hear that :-)
However, as far as i am noticed, there is no client software, except those found at sourceforge, but i cant compile this stuff on my HPUX machines. Is there probably a way known by someone? Any tips? If not, is there a plan to develop client software for another platforms such HPUX or WINTEL?
The plan is definitely to develop client software to support the major Unix variants (*BSD, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, possible AIX - these are the ones I need to support myself).
A Windows client is a rather different beast. It would definitely be very useful, but I haven't done any real programming in the Windows environment for almost 10 years, so it's not something that I would just do.
Developing a Unix client is "only" a matter of getting enough free time to actually do it. Right now, the focus is on the server side since that really needs to be in place before working on clients makes any sense.
I have to use BB clients at the moment, but i would prefer to use some kind of GPL software..
We're working on it.
