Here's the thing; I enjoy the occassional game of UT, UT2k3, and Quake 3. I've been playing for a few years now and although I'm not the best at any of them I like to play online every once in a while.

My question for you all is that what is the best software to use to find servers for online play? I'm not a huge fan of Gamespy just because they are ever so persistent in making you pay for their services, and downloads, and clicking their banners, and all that good stuff.

Am i stuck with using gamespy, or is there some fantastic alternative that you guys know of that I don't?

I don't mind installing Gamespy if i have to, but I wanted to check before i went and started the Download and install.

UT2k3 has a collection of servers within the actual game, so it's not the problem. The main struggle is finding servers for UT and Q3.
