Is there a way to put a link on a webpage for the AW Plug-In so the person
can click on the link, download the software, which takes the person
directly to my world, avoiding AWGate? Is this what SolServer is about?

As a SolServer is nothing but a UniServer with a limited
licence you should be allowed to put up your own, customized
AW client that has an own INI file (with host=/port= of your
SolServer) and own message files, and an own startup screen
I think.

The SolServer world is not connected to the AW universe and
no teleport between the (one) SolServer- (or Galaxy-) world
is possible.

You could read the description of the SolServer, it's just a UniServer where
you can have a max of one world. AW is not a plug-in, it's a client
application (just to correct the AWC). You just need to change the stuff in
the start section of aworld.ini (you'd have to distribute a zip instead of
the usual installer). for example, if you wanna send folks to a world called
awexplor at the coords 5s 3e, you'd use this:

[start]
world=awexplor
location=5.0S 3.0E 0.0a 0

also, I think the AWC have made a downloader thingy that does it dynamically
(used on the completion page of the 3d homepage stuff). hope this helps!

The solserver sounds ok, for these wishing some privicy and for those of us
that require a private 25x25 small world for friends. Indeed has some
interesting possiblities for groups of like minded people.

As with Univservers/Galaxies proberly the VRT and connection to aw is
present as otherwise nothing to stop anyone setting up 100's of them all
over, If the sales take off with this new server, perhaps aw might consider
reducing the galaxyserver price as at present cheaper to buy 4 solservers
then one galaxyserver. Interesting!

Now all we need is a client that can let us travel from Universe to Universe
(or solserver to solserver)

Note, this is based on a second-hand information :

I doubt that upgrade will be possible, strategy seems to be to
let the different licences look like different products in
order to avoid upgrade and force buying new.
A friend tried to upgrade from a galaxy to a universe and he
kept his galaxy and his money because he didn't want to buy
a second server licence and an upgrade of his current one
was not accepted by AW.

I'm not so sure if that is really a good strategy but it's their
product (and their lost money in this case)

Sure they will accept an upgrade - but you should contact AWC directly
because its a special arrangement. Tell the guy to email
tom at activeworlds.com or give them a phone call.

Thanks, I sent him the hint today - but I think his contact
was Tom (not sure though) because he already had asked me
to tranlate some of the letters from/to Tom.
