Does any one know what sort of pc network doom runs on?  
What about Netware Lite?  Lantistic?  Or what?

Wwell, you just need a net-work card, it's driver, and the 
ipx driver, of course, and the cable. Then just play it.

i don't know if this applies to all network cards, but all
i needed to do is load ipx for my card.  i have an intel
etherexpress and the ipx was auto-configuring so i didn't
need to even set switches.  

the bottom line is that i had two machines, both with these
type ethernet cards and all i loaded for network action was
ipx.  of course, this wasn't a fully running network, but 
it was enough for doom net play...

Is IPX something that comes with the cards, something that is obtainable 
from and FTP site, or something you get when you purchase a network 
program like Novell or Lantastic or Vines?

        I am running Doom on NWlite, but don't load the network ems or xms
drivers NLCASHEX.EXE and NLCASHEM.EXE.  Doom will not run with these loaded.
I also had a problem running doom net because my cmos bus speed was set to
fast.  I have a 486 dx2 66 and the bus speed was set to clk/6 not clk/4.  Once
I changed it to clk/4 it worked fine.
