Hi,



I've jsut managed to get Quake1 working over null-modem, but
no matter what I try I cant get c&c to connect, it just hangs on both
pc's with the "Waiting to connect..." dialog box. But somethimes
it gets past that part and brings up the screen where you choose
your name and color etc ect, on both pc's, then it always says
something like "The other Computer is not responding", then returns
to the menu system.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens, or how I can get a
null-modem going?



Thanks. . .
