What does the release of MAMENet mean for MARP?

First, what is MAMENet? MAMENet is a piece of software I picked off from Arcade@Home, but I believe it was released by a RetroGames member of the MAMEDEV team. MAMENet is an extension of MAME32 V35 FINAL, which includes the implementation of networking, I believe it includes TCP/IP - but I've heard it's very buggy :( Although... I just found out there's a MAMENet page(http://members.tripod.com/~adcockm), and I've found out that it may be done completely by MAME 36 beta 2! Woohoo!

But what does this mean? It means before too long we can play against each other in our favorite games in friendly combat(I hope :) ) Hopefully we can play against each other over a simple 28.8 modem. This would be... so... kewl! Oh... and I know exactly what my first challenge would like to be... nope... not giving information at this time. :)

OK... I'm done blabbering... we now return you to your regularly scheduled internet session :)
