I don't think this is intended to help with serving. It seems to handle=20
the forwarding of Quake packets to clients behind a masq box, so that when=
=20
a client behind the masq box connects to a server, UDP packets from the=20
server are sent back to the client.=20

Kernel 2.4 seems to do this automagically. I've never loaded any=20
Quake-specific kernel modules on my 2.4-based masq box, and I've never had=
=20
any problems with Quake (Q3|Quakeworld) playing.=20
