 It's possible they both have Winmodems.

(response to original poster):

In that case, unless you can find a way for Duke to use the
modem Win 95/98, or Dos drivers for the Winmodem you are out
of luck. I don't think such Dos drivers even exist. Win modems
off load the work to the CPU, and this is why they require a driver
top run. My suggestion is if you can, replace the modem with a
Dos compatable modem, or pick up an old external modem, (even an
ancient 14.4 should be suitable for 2 player modem game. These probaly
can be picked up for a few dollars at a used computer shop), and
use that to play Duke over modem. If you have a mouse connected to
the only serial port, make sure you disable the mouse in
Duke's setup program if you connect the external modem there.
