Simple.  Quake supports multiple TYPES of connection ( ipx, modem,
serial cable, tcp/ip ) at any given moment.  Its the only recent game
I know of that's able to due this.  Diablo, as far as I know, only
does one at a time.  Is  it possible to do a Win95 IPX connection
through a modem?   Never tried something like that since I'm the type
of person that'll lug his computer around to friends' houses for ipx
or serial play.  Network cards are cheap ;)  $20
