I beg to differ on the top speed thing.
I've hosted it just fine. Set fusion to "bridged" mode, and windows will get an
IP from your router independant of the mac...
And also, though I forget how I did it, I made the sound delay pretty much go
away in fusion. (anyone else know how to do this for future reference)? So I
can play top speed perfectly.
