Well, SETIQueue is working fine, but as I found out tonight you're kind of stuffed if that machine falls over.  Seems to shame to lose that work time.
Is there a buffering program that will work with SETIQueue, please?  I'd like to think that my high-turnover machines had a few units in hand  to last them until the next morning.


You could put seti driver on each machine or you could simply run a machine that doesn't get used for much else as your Q.

I had a machine which ran SETI, SQ and acted as a basic fileserver.  It only ever went down due to power failure, and that wasn't a problem because everything else went down as well..
Remember the machine running SQ doesn't need to be powerful, but it should be running and NT / 2k based OS (Or Linux and wine)
