I just went through this recently myself. First of all, make sure that
when you rund d3, the ver 1.4 shows in the bottom right of the screen. 
Sometimes it looks as if the patch went through when it did not and you 
need the patch to play multiplayer.

I would recomend Kali. Be aware that you will only find several games at 
any one time. Online games are not as available as they once were.

Note that In Kali, you use the "Internet Games" interface rather than 
connecting to the <descent> server as you may have done with d1 or d2.

This site can track and also provide an interface for you to join games 
as well:

This forum is where this NG has moved to. Took me about 10 tries to join!

I hate forums. I suppose the young kids like forums better than usenet.

When you get online, be prepared to get a whoopin. Those that still play 
are very good. Maybe you and I should face off?
