OK, this is weird, but this is the only way a friend and I have managed to get 
Duke to work with Kali.  I stated earlier that everybody has had a problem, 
but it turns out I was wr... wr... wr... um... not quite right.  8-)

Connect via Kali.  When you run setup, do the following:

  setup /l1 /f4

That's a lower-case L for the first option and a numeral one.  I don't know if 
the /f4 is needed by everyone.  We tried it with the option gone and we had 
synch troubles.  Never tried /f1 or /f2.

Now the weird stuff.  If you leave out the /l1, then you get all the standard 
startup screens and what happens is the player #2 never seems to find player 
#1.  However, WITH the option, player #2 will see the start of the game, 
player #1 will seem to wedge.  Press escape and player one is allowed to start 
a new game.  After the second start, player #2 will will see player #1's name 
on the screen.  After a third attempt to play deathmatch, voila! you will be 
playing.  No clue why you have to try three times, but there you go.

Better yet, just get the file 'kali12r.exe', rename your old kali.exe
to kaliold.exe or kali12.exe if you want to keep it for some reason,
and rename the new kali12r.exe as kali.exe and use it.  Run with setup
/f4 (the /l1 just tells it to run level 1.. you can pick that from the
menu at the start or any other level for that matter).

Oh yeah,. make sure to tell the other player(s) not to hit the
spacebar at the intro screens, but rather to just let them time out as
I've been told this can keep the game from syncronising properly.

And as always, the lower the /ping time to your opponent(s) the
better/smoother the game will run.

See ya on Kali,

Vanth
