I don't think so. Jason has done some alterations to the community
main page lately, and I suspect that routing the FAQ launcher via
that main page is a step in his plan to shift everything to the
community site eventually and abandon the static HTML site
altogether. I'm glad that you noticed it though - I hadn't -
although in recent months I have taken the precaution of downloading
any pages before I update them, having previously bumped into changes
Jason forgot to tell me about.

True, it hasn't. On my To-do list.

Depends on how flexibly you implement connections. Anything with a
local client will have to be cpTCP_IP and use the IP address or
static hostname of the local node. I don't have a system to test on
but I've heard claims that cpNetBEUI won't work.
