About the easiest way to do it is to use the modem game option. Just pick it 
and then select create game. You will probably wish to unhook your modem from 
the phone line though since creating a modem game sets your modem in 
auto-answer mode(although if you have a dedicated modem line it is not a 
problem).  The direct connect option locks up I think because it is either 
looking for a null modem hooked to one of your serial ports or it is looking 
for the Win95 direct cable connection software, not sure which one.
