I agree on that, I always like monolithic stuff....

Right YOG "only" show you the list of games and players, and let them chat
together. But the special feature is that you can be behind a NAT or "soft
firewall", and still play together.

If you go to play "LAN game", you can enter any IP adress of the game host. He
can be anywhere on the internet. But if he has some NAT or firewall protection,
and the 7008 port is not manualy configured into the firewall, then there is no
way to join the game.
