Please get your info straight before postin stuff like this.  Doom 1.2. The
newest version, which will be out in a few days (I hope) has the network
stuff fixed!  No more problems clogging up nets.  I just wonder how long it
will take for the net admins to realize this and not kick doomers off their
nets.

There is still talk about creating a server, but I think the new network
setup will allow connections over internet. Maybe not in 1.2, but I heard
something about it last week.  There was also talk about making a server
that allowed more than 4 players.  I like this idea. :-)

Yes, it's called IHHD.  Yes it should allow 2 players to play over internet
just like over the modem. (There will probably be config problems like with
every other game tried with IHHD).  The big problem here is, it will only
allow _2_ players!  We want a full 4 (or more) for some real deathmatch
action!

Still patiently waiting for version 1.2.....
