	MOO2 Multiplayer: Where? Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Hello. Where might I be able to play Moo2 online in this day and age? I'm on a network but the person I'm wanting to play with is quite a distance away... I used to play on the now-defunct Heat.net, and back in the day I played over modem (not feasible in this case). We'd rather avoid a pay service if possible, but I do have a subscription to Kali (I'm not sure my friend'll be keen on subscribing there...). MSN Gaming Zone doesn't seem to support it. Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT: By the by, does Kali still work? I can't connect to it, but it might be my firewall. There's a message from Jan. 2001 which gives a rather indefinite message about the future of Kali...
thanks again

GrandSpleen, Kali is now free, and it has a new tracker (go to its web site for detailed info).
And there's where the people go for moo 2 MP, so you can play with others too.

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

oh... yes :P
It seems I am a bit out of the training since I am learning for final exams ;-)
Well... there are some tournaments/ladders based on kahn, too...
But as Kali is now free, it's probably the better choice.

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I prefer kahn myself, but I only go there when I arrange a game with others, since no one is usually at kahn for moo, only at kali.

	Enter the AD-FREE zone

I've had Kali installed for quite some time, but hadn't used it in years. I tried to run it the other day, but my version was so out of date that I had to update.

So, I uninstalled my old copy, installed a new copy, and now it's telling me I have a 15 minute trial period, after which i have to pay the $20 fee again. And I don't think I still have my user number, or whatever it was I got so many years ago.

I thought you guys said Kali was free now... what's with this 15 minutes?
-----------------------
Alright, now, after writing this email, I went back to Kali.net and followed this link:
http://www.kali.net/asp/default.asp

Which supplied me with the registration codes needed. The website claims these are temporary, but no restrictions were mentioned, so I assume they're permanent if Kali never gets back on its feet as a business.

Incidentally, I can't connect to the Tracker. The IP is correctly updated to the IP listed on kali.net, but I can't get a connection. I'm at school, so it could very well be my firewall. I'll email the system administrator about it ... he's a good guy. But I thought I'd mention it here, just in case there's something I should know, some special thing I need to do in order to connect -- is there? And what ports do I need open (is it specific per game?) to play on Kali? I can ping 64.55.196.2 just fine from a command prompt... but the Kali client can't connect to the Tracker. Why?

One last thing. While trying to get Moo2 to work multiplayer with a friend, and avoiding Kali because I thought it still cost money, I came across this program:

http://www.morpheussoftware.net/git/

It's a cute little program that can connect via TCP/IP and forward IPX packets and the like. Theoretically should allow two people to connect to each other then play IPX games such as MOO2. We did get this to connect but we never got MOO2 to work, though I think I know why (we only just tried this tonight, and my friend went to bed shortly before I realized we were not forwarding the ports we needed to be forwarding).

That should do it. Looking above, I first started this thread in March of 2002 and the first reply didn't come until May. Here's hoping it doesn't take that long this time!
