You'd probably be better off helping him get a legitimate ISP. I had a friend who tried various ways of connecting to me while he was using AOL. His pings were way too high (though he only lives 200 miles away). I gathered that there must be tons of hops before he even communicated with the server he was connected to for his internet service. He switched to a legit ISP and we've hooked up often every since. Of course you can use Gamespy to get a IP number and just e-mail or ICQ it to him and tell him to type in "connect ###.###.###.###" filling in the #'s with the ip number. Of course, his ping should be abhorrent. Good luck. -- T. Odum ted...@louisacomm.net http://www.louisacomm.net/~teddy2
