Actually Pete section 3c in my README.TXT for descent says no such thing.
and I quote -

To get optimum performance from network games, the players should be 
connected on the same local network so their packets can be routed 
directly without intermediate processing by routers.  If players are all 
on the same sub-network, the router and servers will experience almost 
no load due to the network games in progress.

So you can understand our comments. No need to be so quick off the draw.
A different version perhaps. I am running shareware Descent Vs. 1.0
