Years ago I remember getting a copy of a QW client which would just open in a DOS box and give you access to the QW command-line including connecting to servers and running commands but displayed no graphics at all.
It was, I believe, used for testing purposes as you could connect 10 players to server from one computer and the would just sit there etc.
Does anyone have a copy of this? I would like to put it on a USB stick and give it to a couple of my work colleagues and have them connect to a QW server so I can see what kind of ping they get to hopefully aid me in getting a new ISP. XS4All doesn't use ADSL fastpath so I get 15-25ms higher ping compared to what I had before.

Just note that what you mean with ping is totally dependent on the physical frame rate (it's lower end is limited to # of fps)

OK, check lib/ directory here Thanks D2 however I am not able to execute the application. It reports it is not compatible with my version of Windows (Win7). I tried running it in compatibility mode as Win XP, Win98 and Win95 but all get the same error. Any idea?

I tried running it in compatibility mode as Win XP, Win98 and Win95 but all get the same error. Any idea? Well I suppose you run just an exe file. Please make sure there is cygwin1.dll file in the same place where thin_client.exe. I compiled it under Win7 64bit using cygwin: thin_client.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows I also tested it with Windows XP 32bit and it worked: Microsoft Windows XP [Wersja 5.1.2600]

You could try Dosbox, I think it has network support. Either that or install a 32 bit OS.

It's a problem with version of cygwin under which thin_client was compiled for Windows I'm preparing new version of it for dirtobox to test, we'll see if it works. EDIT: recompilled, working version: http://quake.tdhack.com/tc.tar.gz
