That's something I never even knew existed - thank you for the info. Would this be the kind of thing you mean: http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html I have copies of "Dune 2000" which operates pretty much exactly like C&C did, and to play it head-to-head requires a "null modem cable" which I'm thinking this application could emulate. After I give it a try, I'll let you know!
