Well I don't think that the current freeciv server could handle more
than one server.  Especially with a whole bunch of AI's.  It still might
be interesting to have one game going all the time.  I can't comment on
connectivity, because it would definitly suffer near a release or a
mention on freshmeat (or anywhere else for that matter).

I am getting some more RAM for the machine, but don't have an ETA for
that as of yet.

I would like to scrape some hardware together for are real
civserver.freeciv.org, but I am little short on hardware at the moment. 
Thought? Comments?
