Hello
Me and my clan have found someone willing to run a quake 2 server for us
(wooohooo).
Anyway, i'm posting for advice.

All we want the server to do, is:
- Cycle dm maps 1-8
- Weapons stay, quad drop, falling damage on
- standard FFA deathmatch

Which software should I use? It must run on windows NT on a console.
can this quake 2 software support admins - eg. if i was an "admin" (i
couldnt actually be at the server computer, but could i command it from
elsewhere) i could change maps/gameplay (teams/ffa)?
lastly, does the server
a) need the quake 2 cd in all the time
b) need the q2 cd on startup
c) need version 3.20
d) or maybe 3.20 server edition (if it exists, i have no idea!)

Thanks very much in advance :)
