>1.  What audio driver is used to carry your Maine Hockey feed (e.g. Real
>Audio, etc.) ?
 
The WZON may require the latest RealPlayer G2 (freebee).  If you have a
RealPlayer G2 several months old, maybe you should download the latest
copy.  I have noticed that this feed does seem to have a higher bit-rate
than most (20-21Kbs).  If your network connection to broadcastsports.com
can't sustain that ...  maybe that's the problem.
 
It appears neither Broadcastsports.com nor Zoneradio.com want to
advertise the URL, but I like just starting up RealPlayer rather than
using the browser plugin.  If you want to try a direct URL, use ..

My machines don't have an apple logo ...  but a 2-year old machine isn't
*that* old!
 
Have you upgraded to Mac OS 8.x?  The newest RealPlayer is only
available with OS 8.1/8.5.  I don't know if the older version available
with OS 7.x is compatible with the broadcastsports.com feed.  Maybe
someone else does?

Maybe you should?
 
Maybe they can give you a browser-free URL, as I don't have one.

Wow, what an opening series ...  not the hysteria of the 1st time MN
came to Alfond, but those in attendance saw 2 young, but *very* good
teams play a hard-fought pair of games.  Fast and entertaining.
 
Barrett Heisten has elevated his game ...  awesome.  Look for B.Heisten
to vie for all-HEA and All-American honors, IMHO.
 
A number of players are new starters and don't look out of place.
 
The fans filled and rocked the Alfond.
 
Not bad :-)
 
cheers, wayne
