I was pondering the idea of ordering Descent, now that it's finally
available, and was wondering if the full release would allow you
to play over subnets?

I thought I heard mention that this was a shining achivement with
the full release in that I could play over multiple subnets.  Can
anyone confirm this?

For example:
  We have 4 computers in one room on a subnet of 111.11.111.xxx and
next door there are 4 computers on the subnet of 111.11.112.xxx.  Is
there anyway for us to network our computers together for multiplayer
support?

Any information would be appriciated.
