Years ago when I was a diehard playing Duke3d online using Kali there were a
few classic well loved maps.  The one I am thinking of had a well that you
jumped in swam down, accross, back up, out and emerged in a balcony or sky
box thing.  You could also get there by an elevator.  I think it also had a
trench down the center of the map.

Anyone know the name of it or where I can find it?  What were some of the
other classic online maps?  Also, are there any utilities that convert
Duke3d maps to UT or something?

Not to my knowledge.  Also, I doubt that it would even be possible since
the Build engine uses a pseudo-3D map that occasssionally places sectors
ontop of other sectors - the same effect can't be reproduces in other
engines such as UT.  

The only way to convert the map into full-3D format is to actually write a
custom engine that can have overlapped (i.e. warped) regions in space.

Sounds similar to a map I made called Concert.map or Concert Arena, that 
had a well you swam down into and up into a building next door where you 
could go up an elevator to street level, and next door was a large indoor 
concert arena.  It wouldn't be that one, would it?  If it is, e-mail me 
and I'll send it over.  My e-mail is mariner-at-pipeline .dot. com.
