They did give MIT a sample server; it just doesn't work.  All the pieces are
there - for the megapel version at least.  I'm in the process of re-compiling
at the current patch level (via make World) right now.  

Making the sample work can't be as difficult as implementing a server from 
scratch ( I hope ).  I've already found a few obvious mistakes in some of
the megapel/hft code.
