Q:  What is a good AMarqueed server to connect to?
A:  Right now there is ACS.hostile.cx, which is the server
    for AmiComSys.  You can also use it for other programs,
    for now, but if there is too much load on it, the site
    administrator might have to restrict it to just AmiComSys, 
    so go easy!  :)  Hopefully, other sites will appear 
    for use with other programs...
    
Q:  What cool AMarquee programs are there?
A:  Well, at the time of this writing there is AmiComSys written by me, Håkan Parting, and
    Netris, QAmiTrack, QSendFile, and ARemote, written by Jeremy. AmiComSys's homepage is
    at https://www.parting.nu/AmiComSys/
    QAmiTrack had a home page at https://qamitrack.tibb.at 
    All are available on Aminet.  
A2: Oh yeah, if you're bored you can check out the example
    programs included with this archive.  SillyGame is Jeremy's personal favorite.  :)
    
Q:  Why can't I connect to an AMarquee server?
A:  There could be any of a number of reasons:

    - The Amiga running the server is down or inaccessible.
    - The Amiga running the server has banned your site or
      client program, or has reached its maximum number of 
      connections allowed.
    - The Amiga running the server is running low on memory.
    - Your TCP stack is configured wrong, or you are using
      the wrong flavor of amarquee.library (e.g. the Inet225
      version under AmiTCP, or vice versa--do a 
      "version libs:amarquee.library file full" to find out
      which flavor you have installed)
      
Q:  Why do I keep getting disconnected from the AMarquee server?
A:  Again, it could be any of several reasons:

    - The server shut down.
    - A client with KILLCLIENT privilege has killed your connection
      to the server.  (Such a client would usually be an admin
      tool being operated by the server owner)
    - The TCP connection was so slow that the server thought
      you had crashed.
    - The TCP connection was so slow that your client thought
      the server had crashed.
    - Your TCP stack had been shut down.
    - The server computer ran out of memory.
    - Your computer ran out of memory.
    - You and the server are running incompatible versions of
      AMarquee.  Specifically, AMarqueed servers before v1.45
      may have trouble with amarquee.library v45 and above.
    - A second AMarquee client has logged into the AMarquee server, 
      and it has the same hostname and program name as your client
      program.  AMarquee enforces the uniqueness of the 
      hostname/programName pair on any given server computer, 
      so if a duplicate program logs in, the original is logged out.

Q:  Why do I get 'memory leakage' messages?
A:  Most likely this happen when you are calling the AMarquee session from several processes
    at the same time. Make sure your calls are serialized.
    If this is not the case please contact the author.
