If you have Win95 and a Pentium you can sign up with TEN (The
Entertainment Network) since they support Duke.

Or you can check out Kali for playing over the internet. 28.8 modem or
better and an ISP with a fairly quick net connection is almost a
necessity though, especially if you want to play during prime hours.

Check out http://www.axxis.com/kali   for more details and
downloadable kali software.

Don't bother.. I just got done testing Duke on TEN.. it's total crap.
There is a 1/2 second delay between when you press fire and when it
fires, the movement is terrible, and you have to turn off music, and
turn sounds down to 4 voices.

You Bet!
I'm a beta-tester for TEN.  (The Entertainment Network).
The TEN software will be included on the CD with future releases of Duke.
As of now, it's still very much in beta, so I doubt TEN software will be 
available with the first commercial release of Duke.

With TEN, you can call either direct to one of their high-speed connects, if 
you have a local number available (there are many, already!) or you can use 
your existing ISP to connect.

Their interface is nice, and the gaming is fairly reliable with Duke, as long 
as you chat with the other players first to find out who has the best 
connections.  In a 4-player game, ONE lousey connection will crash all four 
games simultaneously.  This is more a problem with DUKE, however --  it is a 
terrible hog of network resources.

Have a day.
