I understand the worries about cheating, but anyway,
I would like to undestand the technology, since
Wint-Test use the broadcast to exchange info
while N1MM, for instance, use just another protocol
which can be carried over the internet easily

Sometime you can't lay a LAN across the street
(to your friend home one block away...)
and where a wireless LAN can't be used;
and if you are not 500m apart, you are still
within the rules. :)

Thanks anyway for your time.
Bob, I2WIJ
