(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. > > -- > Follow me in following > -Da follower > john doe <dry...@drbs.com> wrote in message > news:aEuT3.19578$23.1050099@typ11.nn.bcandid.com... > > I'm shure I'm not the first to ask this so please be nice...(newby) > > A budy of mine and I have a copy and want to play a modem game... how go > > you get the modem to call in a win98 format (dos-I know) > > Any help is good... > > Old Duke... > > > > > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
