Remember MILK? Multiplayer Internet Link I think the acronym meant.
Not many people knew about it, the maker was a teenager who intended to get
in on the budding internet gaming phenomenon and compete with Kali (which
was in beta at the time as I recall). It ended up fizzling out when he
couldn't get 3player games to be stable. IHHD was mostly a failure for me
(a modemer), though I had a few quake1 demo games. #descent on IRC was a
rocking place back then, with Parallax programmers popping in every so
often, and channel takeover battles occurring regularly :)
