Are Epic's Unreal1/UT1 master servers not working? If not, let me know and I can try to find out what the story is there.
oh hey sham long time no see

I really missed that by reading it the first time

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=www.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
was in 224, 225 and 226, although it only was there and not in the counterparts:
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerT
CPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=unreal
although I think any masterserver from Epic's side would be highly appreciated, for Unreal as well as UT.
PS: if you really can reach someone there, ask them about the Unreal update (224,225,226) page
http://www.unreal.com/upgrade which was redirected from epic's page here for a few years and shut down without any notice
