[AG-TECH] Testing multicast connectivity...

[Mitch Kutzko]

Hi, folks -- I'd say it's still a little friendly-user, but nobody's
complained of any problems so far.

It's at:

	http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Beacon/Releases/beaconclient_v0.64_java.tar.gz

There's a precompiled binary you can use, or you can compile the source
that's included.

Once you get the clients swapped to the patched version, your Beacon should
start showing up on the ANL BeaconServer page.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Mitch
