Not sure, but if the systems aren't running Windows 9x or DOS you'll certainly have problems. You can use DOSBox to run the DOS versions of Doom or Quake on Windows XP or such, though, on relatively up-to-date computers (not generally older machines, as DOSBox requires considerable processor power). DOSBox can use its own TCP/IP tunneling to connect from 2-4 players as if they were on an IPX LAN connection.
