Are there alternative login clients available?

Yes, however with the recent overhaul of the Launchpad sofware, the need for alternatives is far less of an issue. BPALogin (http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/) is an open source login client. It has been ported to Windows, Linux, OS/2, AmigaOS, BeOS, and Mac OS X. The current implementation was written by Shane Hyde, but is now being maintained by David Parrish. While not as stable as WinCable, it is nonetheless far superior to Launchpad. Launch! by Jamie Curmi (http://curmi.com/software/mac/launch) is a distribution of BPALogin with a nice GUI for Mac OS X. BPA Login Mac by Adrian Bourke (http://users.bigpond.net.au/adrianb/) is a fantastic client for Mac OS 9 users. Unlike Launchpad, it won’t die while playing games. Unfortunately it doesn’t work in WA or SA at the moment. WinCable by Scott Campbell (http://www.spiffysoftware.com) is an excellent alternative for Windows users. It is shareware, costing $20 per license.
