[Techtalk] I need a server for multiplayer games for the blind I am developing

[Mr. Hardy]

Hello Jim,

I went to the JIJORO site you recommended. It only seemed to have physical 
servers. I spent a lot of time browsing quite a few of the links with no 
luck finding what I wanted. I'm looking for software I can upload to the 
cgi-bin at my website.

please help if you can. I am at a loss at this point.

Thanks, Mr. Sal Hardy
