I had a quick try of your server tonight Merth, but I got booted to server select everytime I zoned, either normally or with #zone. The final time it happened I /ooced to see if anyone else had the same problem, but immediately went LD :(

I am on ADSL, but I know my ISP has some issues at present (apparently ICMP flooding due to one of the new worms), so it may just be down to that.
