I actually tried that before but it threw up some error - I think.

LHA! You're talking my language now, that's Amiga stuff. No, I think its
ICE or something.

But anyway, I've managed to get it installed now (probably because I was
doing something daft in the first place) and I downloaded the glquake
patch.

It works!    :)

But what started this is that I wanted to play multiplayer Quake with my
son using the pc while I staggered around like a drunk on the Amiga,
connected by serial link.

On my Amiga version of the game it has TCP, modem and serial multiplayer
options. The pc appears to only offer TCP, is that right?    :(

Again thanks for all your help.

                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
