Thanks, Mr. Pletcher, for answering my questions.  The time factor was no 
problem.  Since we last wrote, I found out a couple of things.  First 
off, that you do not use Ipx broadcast packets, but rather, directed 
packets, Spx I believe.  Also, by using the showaddress and gameserver 
command line parameters, this allows direct hookup between server and 
client players, but only on the same subnet.  The main problem is to 
encode the packets so that they can be DIRECTED across routers, not 
broadcasted across them.  If this can be solved, it would pave the way 
for easier coding for TCP/IP protocols, since the directed packets then 
could be packaged into TCP/IP packets, and then decoded after reception.  
Of course, this could all be pure hyperbole, since I am currently drawing 
off of several FAQ's and books, and not from direct programming experience.

Hope this helps.  Hehe.  Great game!  (I think I said that already...)
