have a look at the official homepage: http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/
seems there's only a client for mac? *not sure*

if it's a normal client you should still be able to host games/run a server but it won't be dedicated (dedicated is best)

Have you tried checking to documentation? http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html and if that still doesn't help just try playing around with the settings. Also, if you're behind a firewall you'll have to forward port 4534.

To start a server do I just click, Host Game instead of picking a server, but I want a deticated server thats always on. There was nothing on that site to help a Mac. Sorry, Can someone make a server for me and make me admin??

Zap, there is no way to do remote administration in the way you are thinking, it just doesn't exist yet. You will have to do some more research, I'm sure the answer is out there.

hmm you could try getting in touch with the guy who compiled armagetron for mac - maybe he's interested in compiling a mac standalone server version as well (if his mail isn't given at the official site you can mail Manuel Moos and ask him if he could forward the request - or maybe even better ask at the sourceforge armagetron forum)
