  After playing for a few hours at a time with multiplayers over the network,
I have really got attached to the multiplayer aspect of the game.  Are there
any drivers out there that allows for such a similar connection over the
serial port (NULL cable/modem) ?  If there is such a program out there, has
anyone actually experienced how the game plays in such a setup?

We hooked up a null modem cable and played it with doomser, it worked, 
but it was really slow.  We were running two 486's with 8 megs.  One was 
a 33, and the other was a 66 VLB.  Both had sound cards and SVGA 2meg 
monitors.

Can't wait for ID to release the multiplayer version.  Dommser is just 
too slow the way we set it up.  If I did something wrong and someone has 
gotten it to work right then please forward me the info.

Thanks
Ian Perkins
